[rhn-users] FW: How to maintain RedHat Server that cannot beconnected to Internet

[Monlong Pierre]

Thank you for your answer.

We cannot install nor a satellite server nor a proxy server as Our two redhat servers are on a completely isolated network.

Thus, it's not optimized to install a server for upgrade only for two servers. Satellite or proxy server are perhaps uselful for server farm with lot of servers but not adapted for small installation like us.

Thank you

Hi Pierre,

I'm forwarding your message to the list as it appears you sent it only
to me directly.[1]

Regarding your question: Perhaps you could install a satellite server
that can connect to the internet and have your boxes connect to this
one?  I'm looking into this myself at the moment so I can't tell you
much about it but it might suit your needs.

Kind regards

Bram Mertens

	I have several redhat servers, that cannot be connected to
Internet.

	For the installation we have connected one time these servers to
register them to RHN, and to make a first upgrade

	by downloading of rpm tar archive through the web interface.

	But now, we cannot connect them to Internet to update the
installed packages. 

	So the profil (installed package) of these server on the RHN are
8 months old.

	How to update my profil off line ? Why Redhat don't have a tools
to generate a file (encrypted and signed if needed)

	That we can inject in the rhn web interface to update the
installed rpm packages.

	Thank for your help.
