rhn proxy vs rhn satellite
Hi
I'm trying to understand updates policy by redhat. Please correct me if anything are wrote below is wrong. Basic Service Subscription -------------------------- - requires rhnsd daemon - every systems conf is registered in RHN database on the http://rhn.redhat.com Workgroup Service Subscription ------------------------------ -- rhn proxy server -- downloads errata to organization central server -- every system conf is registered in RHN database on the http://rhn.redhat.com -- every system gets updated by using up2date cmd not rhnsd daemon -- rhn satellite -- in home RHN -- systems conf are not registered in RHN database on the http://rhn.redhat.com -- every system gets updated by using up2date cmd not rhnsd rhnsd daemon ------------ It runs rhn_check utility in interval based on configuration in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd So if you schedule some action in RHN it will perform it after this interval. additional info --------------- - Red Hat Network Proxy Server and Red Hat Network Satellite, the server applications with which up2date interacts, are not freely available, open-source applications. - he up2date command, the Red Hat Network client software, is open-source software released by Red Hat under the terms of the GNU GPL - The current server can be downloaded from http://current.tigris.org. Although not yet as functional as Red Hat Network Proxy Server or Red Hat Network Satellite, current can already be used to create a RPM repository from which up2date-using clients can retrieve and install software thx for help. |
1. unless something strange about Proxy & Satellite, then for RHEL 5.x then yum rather than up2date; up2date was default for RHEL 4.x, but yum is avail as a backport.
