Update Satellite Certificate for New Subscriptions


Recently my company purchased some additional RHEL Add-Ons, such as High Availability and Resilient storage.  I had already synced in the HA channel which had about 264 packages using ‘satellite-sync -c channel-name’


  •  satellite-sync –list-channels | grep rhel-x86_64-server-rs-6
However when I went to sync in the new resilient storage via running satellite-sync –list-channels, the resilient storage channel didn’t show up.  I forgot or didn’t realize that I needed to request a new certificate through support or generate a new one if I can.   See ‘How to request new Satellite Certificate
Once I imported my new certificate I was able to run the following command
  • satellite-sync –channel=rhel-x86_64-server-ha-6
Once the channel packages were all synced in, I was then able to subscribe my two cluster nodes to the new channel with this command
  •  rhn-channel -a -c rhel-x86_64-server-ha-6
Finally I installed any updated packages or tools I needed to run HA with NFS and GFS2.
