5.3 Copying software to the Insight Control for Linux repository

This section describes how to copy software items to the directories in the repository to make
them available for installation.

After you register an OS in the repository, you must copy the vendor-supplied installation files
and boot files to the OS-specific directories under the /opt/repository/os and /opt/
repository/boot

directories . The OS distribution medium can either be a series of CDs,

DVDs, or .iso files.

Proceed to one or more of the following sections, depending upon the Linux OS you are copying
to the repository:

•

“Copying RHEL into the local repository on the CMS” (page 57)

•

“Copying RHEL into a remote repository” (page 57)

•

“Copying SLES into the repository” (page 57)

•

“Copying virtual machine OS into the repository” (page 59)
