Supported Satellite Versions
- 6.5
- 6.6

- 6.8
What you need:
- A blank (vanilla install) RHEL 7 server (target server). You will run the setup commands here.
- A backup from a Satellite server (source server) created with
satellite-maintain
. This backup can be with or without pulp data, and can be from a RHEL 6 or 7 machine. - You will need a Satellite 6 subscription for the cloned machine. With the new Satellite Infrastructure subscription model you should have multiple Satellite subscriptions available.
Setup
On the target server:
-
git clone this project.
# git clone https://github.com/RedHatSatellite/satellite-clone.git
-
Install
ansible
