Hi Guys, I currently manage all patching (and rpm installs) of RHEL 5 servers via our internal RHN Satellite server. However, due to funding and other reasons, we are trying to save $$ and would prefer not to purchase management licenses for our RHN Satellite server. I was wondering how other folks out there are managing their RHEL servers?
What I am thinking of doing is only having a few licenses for my Satellite server and then using reposync to create manual repositories on a physical server (by extracting the rpms from RHN channels on our internal satellite) and have the clients register to these repositories instead of the satellite server. This way I would have the same patches and cut on the cost of purchasing management licenses for our Satellite server. Do you see any downside to this approach? Are others doing something similar? I have a growing environment of about 500 RHEL servers. Also, I only use the internal RHN Satellite server for patching and nothing else (no provisioning, kickstart files etc - done elsewhere). Thanks in advance for your assistance, -J
