Before starting the import, the administrator must copy the contents of the ISOs/CDs for a particular channel into a temporary repository directory. It is important to have enough disk space to copy all the contents into a single directory. For a single channel, the approximate required space is 3 GB.
This sample command assumes the administrator wants to copy the contents of the CD (mounted in /mnt/import) into /var/rhn-sat-import/:
cp -rv /mnt/cdrom/* /var/rhn-sat-import/ |
