Ok - thanks.  I'll investigate this angle.

Chris,

I deal with a few folks who have disconnected Satellites in multiple enclaves.  
Depending on your needs, I would suggest looking into rhn-satellite-exporter 
and the associated man / documentation

https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.5/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Installation_Guide-Content_and_Synchronization-Satellite_Export.html

Essentially, the exporter can be used to dump and copy Satellite data from the 
source (in your case test) to the other environments.  How you actually move 
the data can comply with your security requirements (shared access point, 
sneakernet, etc).  Once you have the export available on the targeted 
Satellite, you can use satellite-sync with the -m option to pull from a mount 
instead of RHN.

HTH,
Matt

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Need to sync SW data via PUSH between environments

I'm just starting to investigate how to synchronize between spacewalk servers.  
And I think I have a problem.  >From what I've read it appears that the only 
way to synchronize data using the 'satellite-sync' command is via a PULL from 
the master server by a slave server.  This is not possible in my environments.

We have test,  staging, and production environments, each physically separate 
and completely network independent and we only allow connections from test to 
production or test to staging, not the other way around.    Our normal 
operating procedures require us to apply all updates to the test environment, 
work out any issues, then push those updates to our staging, check everything 
again, and then finally from test to our production environments.  Currently 
our sole Spacewalk instance exists in our test environment and we want to 
implement slaves in both staging and production.

So is it possibly to use the 'satellite-sync' tool to PUSH updates to slaves 
from a master server?  If not, what other options do I have to sync my software 
channels, packages, kickstart configurations, and configuration channels 
between environments?

Thx
Chris.
