  # mount -o loop rhel-binary-dvd.iso /mnt/iso

  • Create directories for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 AppStream and BaseOS repositories: 

      # mkdir --parents /var/www/html/pub/sat-import/content/dist/rhel8/8.4/x86_64/baseos/os/
  # mkdir --parents /var/www/html/pub/sat-import/content/dist/rhel8/8.4/x86_64/appstream/os/

  • Copy files from ISO image, 

      # cp -a /mnt/iso/BaseOS/*  /var/www/html/pub/sat-import/content/dist/rhel8/8.4/x86_64/baseos/os/
  # cp -a /mnt/iso/AppStream/*  /var/www/html/pub/sat-import/content/dist/rhel8/8.4/x86_64/appstream/os/

  • To the /var/www/html/pub/sat-import/content/dist/rhel8/listing file, append the version number with a new line. For example, for the RHEL 8.4 ISO, append 8.4.

  # rmdir /mnt/iso
