Open man satellite-sync formore information.Table 6.2. Satellite Import/Sync OptionsIf no options are included, satellite-sync synchronizes all channels that already exist in theSatellite's database. By default, the --step (all steps) option is enabled.Keep in mind that the --channel option requires the channel label, not its name. For instance, use"rhel-i386-as-3" not "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 i386." Use the --list-channels option to obtain alist of all channels by label. All displayed channels are available for importing and synchronizing.6.2.2. Preparing for Import from Local MediaTo perform the RHN Satellite Server import, the following prerequisites must be met:• The RHN Satellite Server installation must have been performed successfully.• The Red Hat Network Channel Content ISOs or RHN Satellite Exporter data must be available, orthe Satellite must have access to the Internet and the RHN website.Although it is possible to conduct the import directly from the RHN website, this should be done only ifChannel Content ISOs are not available. It takes a long time to populate a channel from scratch overthe Internet. For this reason, Red Hat urges you to use ISOs, if they are available, for initial import.
