Issue

Need to add a repository to a Satellite for client content access

Resolution

1. Log into the Satellite WebUI
2. Navigate to Content > Red Hat Repositories
3. With the drop-down box to the right of the search bar, ensure "Available" is selected
4. Search in the search box for the name or the label of the repository. Example: rhel-9-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms
5. On the left side column click the repository name to expand the versions available to enable.
6. Click the blue plus (+) icon to the right of the version that you would like to enable.

NOTE: Enabling a repository is not the same as syncing a repository. Once you have enabled a repository, you must sync the repository before you are able to access the content from the Satellite server.
