only if Channel Content ISOs are not available. It takes a long time to populate a channel from

scratch over the Internet. For this reason, Red Hat urges you to use ISOs, if they are available,

for initial import.

2.2.1. Preparing Channel Content ISOs

Channel Content ISOs are special collections that contain both packages and XML dumps of

metadata. The ISO images can be downloaded from the RHN website on a machine connected

to the Internet and then transferred to the Satellite. After logging in, click Channels in the top

navigation bar. Then, click on the RHN Satellite Server channel, making sure to select the

Satellite channel that corresponds to your version of Satellite. Click the Downloads tab and use

the instructions on the page to obtain the Channel Content ISOs, available by version of Red

Hat Enterprise Linux. If the desired Channel Content ISOs do not appear, ensure your RHN

Entitlement Certificate has been uploaded to RHN and correctly identifies the target channels.

Channel Content ISOs are mounted and then copied to a temporary repository directory. Before

mounting the ISOs, ensure the temporary repository has enough disk space to copy all the

contents into a single directory. For a single channel, the approximate required space is 3 GB.

The process to copy Channel Content ISOs is to mount each one, copy its contents to the

temporary repository, and then unmount the ISO. Each channel consists of several ISOs. Once

finished, the administrator should delete the temporary directory and all of its contents. Follow

these steps:

1. Log into the machine as root.

2. Insert the first Channel Content ISO that has been burned to disc.

3. Create a directory in /mnt/ to store the file(s) with the command:

mkdir /mnt/import/

4. Mount the ISO file from within the directory containing it using the command:

mount iso_filename /mnt/import -o loop

5. Create a target directory for the files, such as:

mkdir /var/rhn-sat-import/

6. This sample command assumes the administrator wants to copy the contents of the ISO

(mounted in /mnt/import/) into /var/rhn-sat-import/:
