Installation guide

Slave Satellite
--sp=SLAVE_PASSWORD, --slave-password=SLAVE_PASSWORD is the password for the
Satellite Administrator login on the Slave Satellite
--ct, --create-templates is the option that creates both a master and a slave setup file for the
master/slave pair we've pointed at
--apply tells the Satellite instances to make the changes specified by the setup files to the
specified Satellite instances
Note
For more setup options:
spacewalk-sync-setup --help
The output from this command will be as follows:
INFO: Connecting to [admin@master-fqdn]
INFO: Connecting to [admin@slave-fqdn]
INFO: Generating master-setup file $ HOME/.spacewalk-sync-setup/master.txt
INFO: Generating slave-setup file $HOME/.spacewalk-sync-setup/slave.txt
INFO: Applying master-setup $HOME/.spacewalk-sync-setup/master.txt
INFO: Applying slave-setup $HOME/.spacewalk-sync-setup/slave.txt
3. On the command line, issue the satellite-sync command on each of the custom channels to
obtain the correct trust structure and channel permissions:
satellite-sync -c your-channel
1.3.2. Organizational Synchronization
Inter-Satellite Synchronization can also be used to import content to any specific organization. This can
be done locally or by using remote synchronization. T his function is useful for a disconnected satellite
with multiple organizations, where content is retrieved through channel dumps or by exporting from
connected satellites and then importing it to the disconnected satellite. Organizational synchronization
can be used to export custom channels from connected satellites. It can also be used to effectively move
content between multiple organizations.
Organizational synchronization follows a clear set of rules in order to maintain the integrity of the source
organization:
If the source content belongs to the NULL organization (that is, it is Red Hat content) it will default to
the NULL organization even if a destination organization is specified. This ensures that specified
content is always in the privileged NULL organization.
If an organization is specified at the command line, content will be imported from that organization.
If no organization is specified, it will default to organization 1.
The following are three example scenarios where organizational IDs (orgid) are used to synchronize
satellites:
