Integrating HP Software Delivery Repository with Red Hat Network Satellite™

HP Note

For the remainder of this document, only one representative

combination of distribution, version, architecture, and ProLiant

Support Pack product release (eg. RedHat, 5.3Server, i386, and

8.31) is described in detail.

The following process can be applied to any respective

combination supported by the Software Delivery Repository

products of interest and for your local Red Hat Network Satellite

environment.

Obtain the meta-data information

1. Visit the HP Software Delivery Repository and familiarize yourself with the offerings and

documentation.

2. Download the "bootstrap.sh" script to become familiar with its use. (Although not required, it may

be easier to select a Linux host that matches the eventual target environment.)

3. On the Linux host, invoke the "bootstrap.sh" script with the following command, to familiarize

yourself with use: sh ./bootstrap.sh –h

HP Note

Using the verbose and preview modes provide access to what

would be delivered for a particular host (the following example

is for the ProLiant Support Pack product):

sh ./bootstrap.sh -v -n ProLiantSupportPack

This is the recommended command usage, so as not to change the

configuration of the Linux host issuing the command.

4. At this point, you may need to include more command-line arguments (for example "-

a", "-d", "-r") to explicitly query the desired target system combination. This need is

especially true if the current host does not match the eventual target environment.

Examples of abbreviated output follow:

note : enabled verbose output

note : enabled preview only mode

note : determined distribution : RedHat

note : determined release : 5Server

note : determined architecture : x86_64
