The Satellite server’s contents (operating systems, patches, and operating system images) must be synchronized with an upstream host.
Note: Before you can cache and synchronize data on a Satellite Server, you must have initially configured Satellites. See the HP Client Automation Enterprise Installation and Upgrade Guide for details.
Running the synchronization will synchronize the content that is used by the services that are enabled on the Satellite. For example, if the Satellite is a full-service Satellite, it will synchronize:
- HPCA agent maintenance
- Configuration metadata
- Apache Server cache resources for Patch Manager Gateway binaries and Security and Compliance Gateway binaries (requires Apache Server cache service to be enabled)
- Proxy Server cache resources for software, patches, operating system, security, and audit.
Satellite server synchronization can be scheduled by creating a job on the Core server. See Creating Satellite Synchronization Jobs for additional information.
