Updating and Managing Servers

New clients can be added to the Red Hat Network Satellite Server by using the bootstrap

script that was created during the Satellite Server installation. The bootstrap script for Red

Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 is bootstrap-AS-2.1.sh, and the script for Red Hat Enterprise Linux

3.0 is bootstrap.sh. The following command should be executed on the client with the

appropriate script name:

wget –O – https://<Satellite Server Name>/pub/bootstrap/<bootstrap script> | /bin/bash

This command will download the script and then execute it in a bash shell. When this

command is executed on each client, the bootstrap script updates the necessary Red Hat

Network components, registers each system with the Satellite Server, and performs the

initial update with the channel content to which the system has been subscribed. Any

configuration files for already installed packages will be saved with .rpmsave or .rpmnew

added to the end of the filename. In the Dell lab, the update of a system that was running

the initial version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 2.1 was completed in less than 5

minutes, even though the server required more than 100 updates

If the bootstrap script is not used to accomplish all these tasks, administrators can perform

them individually. The Red Hat Network Client Configuration Guide and the Red Hat Network

Satellite Server 3.2 with Embedded Database Installation Guide provide detailed instructions on

the specific steps that must be taken to perform these tasks individually. Guides are

available from

https://rhn.redhat.com once a login and entitlement has been obtained by

going to the “help” section.

Clients that have been added to the Red Hat Network Satellite Server will now appear in

the management console where their current update status can be viewed See Figure 2.
