3.7 .4 .2 . Enabling Red Hat Re po sit o ries
The Red Hat repositories are synchronized from the Red Hat Content Delivery Network (CDN).
Because of these differences, it can be difficult to determine if you have imported all relevant Red Hat
content into your Satellite 6 server. Red Hat recommends that you import into Satellite 6 all CD N
content that equates to previously synchronized Satellite 5 channels. This ensures that your Red Hat
Enterprise Linux systems have access to the same content as they did in Satellite 5.
The hammer i mpo rt command on Satellite 6 provides an option to review your Satellite 5 channels
and enable the corresponding repositories in Satellite 6. This section guides you through the
process of discovering and enabling the appropriate Red Hat repositories. This command provides
the same --wai t and --synchro ni ze options for initiating the import of Red Hat content
automatically. This needs to be completed before moving to the next step.
The following example demonstrates the --synchro ni ze option to enable and synchronize
Red Hat repositories.
