A satellite server is the central managment/deployment server for
enterprise environments based on RedHat Enterprise Linux.
In order to successfully run a satellite server You must have a license.
If you are not in a position to buy a license, you better add the install DVD's to
the repository server and set satellite_present to false in the inventory.
The virtualmachine to run a satellite server must met the following
minimum requirements:
- memory 16GB
- 4 CPU's
- storage 60GB
- minimum of 300GB extra storage for pulp data
If you have a license and room to spare in your lab... just follow the installation
manuals availlable on the internet. For most people this is not economical and a
repository server is much more cost effective.
