[rhn-users] Syncronizing packages between 4 Redhat systems via RHN .....

[Kennedy, Cameron]

We have 4 servers - 2 UAT and 2 production systems. 
The plan is to bring the uat servers up2date with all available packages
then spend 6 weeks testing to ensure no adverse effects have occurred.
Once testing is complete, we then want to bring the 2 production servers
to the same patch levels as the uat servers. 
 
Question: if during that 6 week testing period, additional patches have
been released, we don't want those patches to be applied to the
production servers as they wouldn't have been installed on the uat
servers during the testing. Is there a way, with up2date, to install
packages to a server(s) based on what is installed on another server?? 
 
I am not sure if a satellite server is the only answer and maybe
overkill for just 4 boxes. 
thanks for any advice.
