http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5 .5/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Installation_Guide-Summary_of_Steps.html Maybe replace "Custom packages and channels require creation for optimal use." with "Creation of custom channels for custom packages is recommended." http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5 .5/html/Installation_Guide/chap-Installation_Guide-Requirements.html Chapter 2.1. Software Requirements Satellite installation disc or ISO Note should mention that server have to be subscribed to 'optional' channel to be able to resolve package dependencies during installation (or have packges from optional already installed). http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5 .5/html/Installation_Guide/ch02s04s02.html Typo "mandatory access control to Red Hat Enterprise LinuxRH; Enterprise Linu x" should be "mandatory access control to Red Hat Enterprise Linux" http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5 .5/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Installation_Guide-Additional_Requirements-DMZ_P roxy_Solution.html http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5 .5/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Installation_Guide-Additional_Requirements-Backu ps.html Do we really want to suggest "Red Hat strongly recommends this information be copied onto two separate floppy disks, ..." ? "Flash disk" or "usb memory stick" sounds more up-to-date ;). http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5 .5/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Installation_Guide-Additional_Requirements-Servi ces.html Text "The httpd service should be enabled." should be replaced with "The folowing services should be enabled: * jabberd * oracle (for Embedded Database Installation) * tomcat5 (for installation on RHEL5) * tomcat6 (for installation on RHEL6) * httpd * osa-dispatcher * Monitoring * MonitoringScout * rhn-search * cobblerd * taskomatic" Also "...you must configure sendmail to properly handle incoming mail." should be replaced with "...you must configure sendmail or postfix to properly handle incoming mail." (Sendmail is default MTA on RHEL5, postfix is default on RHEL6.) http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5 .5/html/Installation_Guide/chap-Installation_Guide-Installation.html 4.1.2. Mounting the Installation Media Remove sentence "This section applies to either Stand-Alone Database or Embedded Database installation media." because there's only one installation media for both Stand-Alone and Embedded variant. http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5 .5/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Installation_Guide-Installation-PreInstallation. html Table 4.1. Installation Options Add "--external-db install Stand-Alone Database variant". http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5 .5/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Installation_Guide-Installation-Running_Installa tion_Program.html 4.3.1. Runnning Installer Script Should contain a Note: "To install RHN Satellite with a Stand-Alone Database use ./install.pl --external-db" http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5 .5/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Installation_Guide-Installation-Running_Installa tion_Program-Database_Setup.html Stand-Alone Database I'd again add a Note "To install RHN Satellite with a Stand-Alone Database use ./install.pl --external-db" http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5 .5/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Installation_Guide-Installation-Sendmail_Configu ration.html Maybe we should rename it to "MTA Configuration" and move whole content to a subsection called "Sendmail Configuration". And add one more subsection with "Postfix Configuration" (similar steps just for postfix). http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5 .5/html/Installation_Guide/chap-Installation_Guide-Troubleshooting.html Change URL in "contact Red Hat Network support at https://rhn.redhat.com/help/contact. pxt" to something more appropriate. http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5 .5/html/Installation_Guide/chap-Installation_Guide-Troubleshooting.html What do I do if yum, up2date, or the push capability of the RHN Satellite stops working? Replace service jabberd stop cd /var/lib/jabberd rm -f _db* service jabberd start with service jabberd stop cd /var/lib/jabberd/db rm -f _db* service jabberd start
