Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Mike McCune 2013-09-19 01:43:44 UTC
1.2. Prerequisites
The following conditions must be met before installing Red Hat Satellite 6: 

Add the following bullets:

 * No installed Java virtual machines (Oracle, IBM, etc) other than the OpenJDK 

 * No installed Puppet RPMs
 
 * Ideally a freshly provisioned system that is only being used for Red Hat Satellite 6

Edit:

 * A minimum of 5 GB storage for the base install of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, 300 MB for the installation of Red Hat Satellite and at least 10 GB of storage for each software repository to be synchronized in the /var filesystem

2.1. Installing Red Hat Satellite

remove note: "Note To install using only the Red Hat Enterprise Linux and MDP repositories: .."

instead make it a requirement with:

 Disable all existing repositories:

# yum-config-manager --disable *

 Enable the Satellite and Red Hat Enterprise Linux repositories by running yum-config-manager (you may need to alter the RHEL repository to match the specific version you are using):

# yum-config-manager --enable rhel-6-server-rpms rhel-server-6-satellite-6-mdp-2-rpms 

2.2. Installing Red Hat Satellite with an ISO Image

update to remove reference to 'CDROM'.  Nobody uses CD's anymore :)

 As the root user, mount the ISO image to a directory:

# mkdir /media/iso
# mount -o loop iso_filename /media/iso

Change directory to /media/iso
