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 Rich Jerrido 2016-06-22 19:08:15 UTC 
Description of problem:

the install_packages script, provided on the Satellite 6.2 install DVD is currently not functional. 

It doesn't reflect the new satellite-installer command. 

Additionally the script does not provide any /real/ value to the end-user. It only sets up a couple of repos (which we can teach the user how to do in docs) and maybe installs a gpg key. 

However, this comes at the cost of additional burden to test & document it. 


I would recommend that the installation ISOs  solely includes two directories:

- One for the Satellite/capsules
- One for RHSCL


Then we tell the user in docs:

mkdir /mnt/iso
mount Satellite_iso /mnt/iso -o loop
configure .repo
yum install satellite.
Comment 5 Stephen Wadeley 2016-11-08 15:28:20 UTC 
Hello

I am just testing the new RHEL7.3 server ISO and the Installation Guide procedure [1]


I noticed that after I configure the main repo for the Satellite ISO:
/etc/yum.repos.d/sat6.repo

I then can see this:
repo id   repo name                                              status
sat6      Red Hat Satellite 6.2.2 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 enabled: 302


and then after configuring this:
/etc/yum.repos.d/RHSCL.repo

I can see this when I `yum reposlist`:

repo id                 repo name                                      status
sat6          Red Hat Satellite 6.2.2 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7    302
satellite-local     satellite-local                                     302
scl-local           scl-local                                           2,362

I wonder why we have "satellite-local"?

Comment 10 Rich Jerrido 2017-02-12 23:48:21 UTC 
If we have plans to improve the capabilities of the install_packages script to be more featureful, then I am in support of keeping it.
Comment 11 Stephen Wadeley 2017-02-20 08:23:23 UTC 
Thank you Rich for comment 10

I that case we can close this bug now, I will update docs as per:
