Description Bryan Kearney 2014-09-26 12:18:54 UTC

It should be faeasible to do this:

1) Install a Satellite with an ISO
2) Create a manifest with the RHEL Channels, and the Satellite Channels
3) Import the manifest into the Satellite, sync the content.
4) Register the host the Satellite is running on to the Satellite
5) Get Updates

But, this is not explicityly stated in the docs.

Hello Bryan,

Looks like this is more for the User Guide since it isn't be part of the installation process. I'll shift the book component unless there is a compelling reason to add it to the Installation Guide. 

Cheers,
Athene

changing to the user guide is fine.

A new chapter about Configuring a Self-Registered Satellite was released today and is available here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/6.1/html/Installation_Guide/chap-Red_Hat_Satellite-Installation_Guide-Configuring_a_Self_Registered_Satellite.html

Thanks,
