Registering a satellite repository

Using the dashboard, you can register and connect your existing satellite repositories to endpoints.

Before you begin

  1. Activate the Repository Configuration - Red Hat Enterprise Linux analysis.
  2. Enable the following task: Enable custom repository support - Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Procedure

  1. From the All Content domain, go to Sites > External Sites > Patching Support > Dashboards > RHEL Custom Repository Management.
  2. Click the Endpoints tab and select the endpoint. The repositories of the selected endpoints are listed in the lower part of the window. When a repository is named as unspecified, it means that it is not listed in the Repository list.
  3. Click Register a new repository. From the Register a New Repository window, select the repository then click Next. A window opens showing the name and the URL of the repository that you are registering.
