After installing the RHN Satellite Server, you must provide it with the packages and channels to be served to client systems. This chapter explains how to import that data and keep it up to date whether the content is from RHN's central servers, local media, or from one Satellite within your organization to another.

Two tools, RHN Satellite Exporter and RHN Satellite Synchronization Tool, come installed as part of the rhns-sat-tools package.
