1.3.3. Inter-Satellite Synchronization Use Cases
Inter-Satellite Synchronization (ISS) can be used in several different ways, depending on the needs of
the organization. This section provides examples of how ISS can be used and the methods for setting
up and operating these cases.
Example 1.4 . Staging Satellite
This example uses one Satellite as a staging Satellite to prepare content and perform quality
assurance on the packages to ensure they are fit for production use. When content is approved to go
to production, the production satellite can synchronize the content from the stage satellite.
1. Run the satellite-sync command to synchronize data with rhn_parent (usually Red Hat
Network Hosted):
satellite-sync -c your-channel
2. Run the following command to synchronize data from the staging server:
satellite-sync --iss-parent=staging-satellite.example.com -c custom-channel
