Script execution includes downloading all entitled channels. The initial download of
channel packages can take several hours, depending on the connection speed, because
there are up to 3 GB of packages per channel. Subsequent channel updates download only
the incremental changes and usually complete in less than an hour, depending on
connection speed.
For the initial channel synchronization, loading the channel content through Red Hat
Network CD-ROMs is recommended. The Red Hat Network Web site provides CD-ROM
ISO image files that can be used to create the CD-ROMs. Using the CD-ROMs can greatly
reduce the time required for the initial channel synchronization. The Satellite Server can
still download incremental updates from the Internet if the initial process is performed
using CD-ROMs.
Once the channel content has been loaded onto the Satellite Server, the server is ready for
use. Administrators should enter the fully qualified host name of the Satellite Server into a
Web browser to launch the administration tool. A Satellite Server administrator account
must be created the first time the server is used; this account information will be required
for entry on subsequent visits.
