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.
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"?

My reply is here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1416646#c3 (th previous link was not linking to the comment) Accidenataly removed the needinfos on other folks, putting them back
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.
Thank you Rich for comment 10 I that case we can close this bug now, I will update docs as per: Bug 1416646 - installation guide tells to configure redundant offline repositories for sat6 and rhscl
