Red Hat Satellite Server

The Red Hat Satellite Server is the on-premise management server for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, with features similar to those offered online through the Red Hat Network (RHN).

Red Hat Satellite 5 is derived from the upstream Open Source project Spacewalk, which is also the basis for SUSE Manager.

It offers a centralized system management console allowing for the deployment of bare-metal and virtual systems, patch and release management, configuration management and monitoring.

It requires a separate support subscription from Red Hat for the Satellite server itself, as well as valid support subscriptions for all of the systems managed through the Satellite. Some features are only unlocked with additional subscriptions.

Red Hat Satellite 6 is very different from Satellite 5. It is a Red Hat branded bundle consisting of Foreman and Katello.

Satellite data in Russia?

Anyone familiar with options for transmitting data in Russia? I'd be interested in hearing about low-speed packet data and faster. Not really looking at VSAT initially as I'd like to keep the power requirements low unless we find no other options.

Is there a way to get Satellite 5.3 to list which packages are installed on each system?

I'm trying to generate a list of all the packages installed per server without having to go through each using rpm. I'm thinking Satellite should be able to provide this in a decent (hopefully easily parsed) format.
