Diagram installation satellite

What could be the issue? Thanks in advance. Ashley: you mean the primary decoder is not working while the secondary is?

I did reset satellite setting due to no signal please help me? Please Oga Lemmy I am helping someone, he bought a Dstv explora 2a from Uganda and paid his subscription. I will advise you get the latest dstv hd decoder as your secondary decoder. I want to connect another explora2 decoder adding it to two existing two decoders, the main and Xtra view.

Siza: you can add three decoders under one subscription. Mickey: your explora should be the primary decoder and you are to use port 1 for it.

When decoder asked to re-format I did do the format, but did not help. Unsure if the disk is completely dead, or if there is a way to format it and try again. Is there anything else I can try? Wynand: To avoid further problems, please take it to Multichoice for repair.

In old explora, you can replace the harddisk with the exact type. Thanks for the information. Secondly, you need a smart lnb for the new one while you need a dixplexer for the old one. If you want to use the old as the primary, you will need to buy a good quad lnb as well as dstv multiswitch with a dixplexer. Save yourself d trouble, make d new ur primary.

Thank you for the lesson on how to install two explorer as xtra view but my question is this is it important to add the switch or is there any other way to go about it.

But if you are installing explora and old HD decoder, you would need the heartbeat cable and a dixplexer. Thank you for the lesson on how to install two explorer as xtra view but my question is this is it important to add the switch or is there any other way. Pls I want to know if there is any extra money I will pay for using explora decoder addition to the subscription price.

Comments I suddenly experience difficulties with my DStv explora. Such feedbacks are necessary to serve as motivation. Not a twin LNB sir. Hi do you have diagrams of all the different types of installations. Meanwhile, which dstv decoder type are you using?

How do I connect them in extra view? Please diagram. Lemmy, do you have advice for an Explora 2 decoder that has a disk problem?

Decoder still works, but no PVR functions because of the disk failure. Thanks for your website. Very good information here. Other payments are optional sir. Please can I get any software that I can lock my files in, on my Samsung tap 4 phone. Gyamfi: what about c band installation that you are interested in?

By assigning a Capsule to each location, you decrease the load on Satellite Server, increase redundancy, and reduce bandwidth usage.

Satellite Server itself can act as a Capsule it contains an integrated Capsule by default. Using the integrated Capsule to communicate with hosts in remote locations is not recommended as it can lead to suboptimal network utilization.

What services will be provided by Capsule Servers? In such case, Capsules have to integrate with those external services see Section 6. Is my Satellite Server required to be disconnected from the Internet? If you require frequent updates of Red Hat content on a disconnected Satellite, plan an additional Satellite instance for inter-Satellite synchronization. What compute resources do I need for my hosts? To learn about provisioning on different compute resources see the Red Hat Satellite Provisioning Guide.

All in one content view — a content view that contains all necessary content for the majority of your hosts. Reducing the number of content views is an advantage in deployments with constrained resources time, storage space or with uniform host types. However, this scenario limits the content view capabilities such as time based snapshots or intelligent filtering. Any change in content sources affects a proportion of hosts.

Host specific content view — a dedicated content view for each host type. This approach can be useful in deployments with a small number of host types up to However, it prevents sharing content across host types as well as separation based on criteria other than the host type for example between operating system and applications. With critical updates every content view has to be updated, which increases maintenance efforts.

Host specific composite content view — a dedicated combination of content views for each host type. This approach enables separating host specific and shared content, for example you can have a dedicated content view for Puppet configuration.

By including this content view into composite content views for several host types, you can update Puppet configuration with higher frequency than other host content. Component based content view — a dedicated content view for a specific application.

For example a database content view can be included into several composite content views. This approach allows for greater standardization but it leads to an increased number of content views.

Roles related to applications or parts of infrastructure — for example, roles for owners of Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the operating system versus owners of application servers and database servers. Roles related to a particular stage of the software life cycle — for example, roles divided among the development, testing, and production phases, where each phase has one or more owners.

Roles related to specific tasks — such as security manager, license manager, or Access Insights administrator. Define the expected tasks and responsibilities — define the subset of the Satellite infrastructure that will be accessible to the role as well as actions permitted on this subset. Think of the responsibilities of the role and how it would differ from other roles.

Use predefined roles whenever possible — Satellite 6 provides a number of sample roles that can be used alone or as part of a role combination. Copying and editing an existing role can be a good start for creating a custom role. Consider all affected entities — for example, a content view promotion automatically creates new Puppet Environments for the particular life cycle environment and content view combination.

Therefore, if a role is expected to promote content views, it also needs permissions to create and edit Puppet Environments. Consider areas of interest — even though a role has a limited area of responsibility, there might be a wider area of interest.

Therefore, you can grant the role a read only access to parts of Satellite infrastructure that influence its area of responsibility. This allows users to get earlier access to information about potential upcoming changes.

Add permissions step by step — test your custom role to make sure it works as intended. A good approach in case of problems is to start with a limited set of permissions, add permissions step by step, and test continuously. Importing existing hosts — if you have existing hosts that have not been managed by Satellite 6 in the past, you can import those hosts to the Satellite Server.

Discovering bare metal hosts — the Satellite 6 Discovery plug-in enables automatic bare-metal discovery of unknown hosts on the provisioning network. These new hosts register themselves to the Satellite Server and the Puppet agent on the client uploads system facts collected by Facter, such as serial ID, network interface, memory, and disk information. After registration you can initialize provisioning of those discovered hosts.

Using remote execution, you can also configure recurring backup tasks on managed hosts. Security management — Satellite 6 supports security management in various ways, including update and errata management, OpenSCAP integration for system verification, update and security compliance reporting, and fine grained role based authentication.

Incident management — Satellite 6 supports the incident management process by providing a centralized overview of all systems including reporting and email notifications. Detailed information on each host is accessible from the Satellite Server, including the event history of recent changes. Satellite 6 is also integrated with the Red Hat Insights. In addition, you can use the access to the Satellite API to write automation scripts in a selected programming language.

Single Location with Segregated Subnets. The content on Satellite Server is then synchronized locally. Disconnected Satellite with Inter-Satellite Synchronization — in this setup, you install a connected Satellite Server and export content from it to populate a disconnected Satellite using some storage device. This allows for exporting both Red Hat provided and custom content at the frequency you choose, but requires deploying an additional server with a separate subscription.

Appendix A. Technical Users Provided and Required by Satellite. Table A. Activation Key A token for host registration and subscription attachment. Activation keys define subscriptions, products, content views, and other parameters to be associated with a newly created host.

Answer File A configuration file that defines settings for an installation scenario. Summarizes the security compliance of hosts managed by Red Hat Satellite. Audits Provide a report on changes made by a specific user. In Satellite 6, you can create a BMC interface to manage selected hosts.

This ISO enables the host to connect to the Satellite Server, boot the installation media, and install the operating system. There are several kinds of boot disks: host image , full host image , generic image , and subnet image. Capsules are useful for Satellite deployment across various geographical locations. In upstream Foreman terminology, Capsule is referred to as Smart Proxy. Catalog A document that describes the desired system state for one specific host managed by Puppet. It lists all of the resources that need to be managed, as well as any dependencies between those resources.

Candlepin A service within Katello responsible for subscription management. Compute Profile Specifies default attributes for new virtual machines on a compute resource.

Compute Resource A virtual or cloud infrastructure, which Red Hat Satellite 6 uses for deployment of hosts and systems. Container Docker Container An isolated application sandbox that contains all runtime dependencies required by an application.

Satellite 6 supports container provisioning on a dedicated compute resource. Satellite 6 supports various methods of importing container images as well as distributing images to hosts through content views. Content A general term for everything Satellite distributes to hosts. Content is synchronized into the Library and then promoted into life cycle environments using content views so that they can be consumed by hosts. Content Host The part of a host that manages tasks related to content and subscriptions.

Content View A subset of Library content created by intelligent filtering. Once a content view is published, it can be promoted through the life cycle environment path, or modified using incremental upgrades. Content views are a refinement of the combination of channels and cloning from Red Hat Satellite 5. Discovered Host A bare-metal host detected on the provisioning network by the Discovery plug-in. Discovery Image Refers to the minimal operating system based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux that is PXE-booted on hosts to acquire initial hardware information and to communicate with the Satellite Server before starting the provisioning process.

Discovery Plug-in Enables automatic bare-metal discovery of unknown hosts on the provisioning network. The plug-in consists of three components: services running on the Satellite Server and the Capsule Server, and the Discovery image running on host. Discovery Rule A set of predefined provisioning rules which assigns a host group to discovered hosts and triggers provisioning automatically.

Docker Tag A mark used to differentiate container images, typically by the version of the application stored in the image. Errata Updated RPM packages containing security fixes, bug fixes, and enhancements. External Node Classifier A Puppet construct that provides additional data for a Puppet Master to use when configuring hosts. Facter A program that provides information facts about the system on which it is run; for example, Facter can report total memory, operating system version, architecture, and more.

Puppet modules enable specific configurations based on host data gathered by Facter. Facts Host parameters such as total memory, operating system version, or architecture. Facts are reported by Facter and used by Puppet. Foreman The Red Hat Satellite 6 component mainly responsible for provisioning and content life cycle management. Foreman is the main upstream counterpart of Red Hat Satellite 6. Foreman Hook An executable that is automatically triggered when an orchestration event occurs, such as when a host is created or when provisioning of a host has completed.

The full host image contains an embedded Linux kernel and init RAM disk of the associated operating system installer. Hammer A command line tool for managing Red Hat Satellite 6. You can execute Hammer commands from the command line or utilize them in scripts.

Hammer also provides an interactive shell. Host Refers to any system, either physical or virtual, that Red Hat Satellite 6 manages. Host Collection A user defined group of one or more Hosts used for bulk actions such as errata installation.

Equivalent to a Satellite 5 System Group. Host Group A template for building a host. Host groups hold shared parameters, such as subnet or life cycle environment, that are inherited by host group members. Host groups can be nested to create a hierarchical structure.

The host image only contains the boot files necessary to access the installation media on the Satellite Server. Incremental Upgrade of a Content View The act of creating a new minor content view version in a life cycle environment. Incremental upgrades provide a way to make in-place modification of an already published content view.

Useful for rapid updates, for example when applying security errata. Job A command executed remotely on a host from the Satellite Server. Every job is defined in a job template. Similar to remote command in Satellite 5. Job Template Defines properties of a job. Katello A Foreman plug-in responsible for subscription and repository management.

Location A collection of default settings that represent a physical place. Library A container for content from all synchronized repositories on the Satellite Server. The primary life cycle environment existing by default for each organization, the root of every life cycle environment path and the source of content for every content view. Life Cycle Environment A container for content view versions consumed by the content hosts.

A Life Cycle Environment represents a step in the life cycle environment path. Content moves through life cycle environments by publishing and promoting content views. Life Cycle Environment Path A sequence of life cycle environments through which the content views are promoted. You can promote a content view through a typical promotion path; for example, from development to test to production. Channel cloning implements this concept in Red Hat Satellite 5. This is similar in function to certificates used with Red Hat Satellite 5.

Organization An isolated collection of systems, content, and other functionality within a Satellite 6 deployment. OSTree A tool for managing bootable, immutable, versioned file system trees.

Satellite 6 supports mirroring OSTree snapshots as well as distributing them in content views. Parameter Defines the behavior of Red Hat Satellite components during provisioning. Depending on the parameter scope, we distinguish between global, domain, host group, and host parameters. Depending on the parameter complexity, we distinguish between simple parameters key-value pair and smart parameters conditional arguments, validation, overrides.

Permission Defines an action related to a selected part of Satellite infrastructure resource type. You can group permissions into roles and associate them with users or user groups. Product A collection of content repositories. Promote a Content View The act of moving a content view from one life cycle environment to another.

Provisioning Template Defines host provisioning settings. Never mount to a tree or a public utility pole. Align the top part of the mast so that it is absolutely vertical. If the top part of the mast is off vertical by only a few degrees, it will be difficult or maybe even impossible for you to find the satellites.

Take at least two readings with a level, on the upper mast, that are 90 degrees apart from one another. Loosen both skew bolts and set the skew by rotating the dish mounting bracket to align the mark with the required angle on the skew scale which you wrote above. Tighten the skew bolts securely. See Table 1 for the required torque values. After the skew is set, do not try to finetune the skew angle when aiming the dish. Grounding, other devices, and in-home cabling must also meet these requirements.

RG-6 coaxial cable rated for at least to MHz must be used in this installation. Do not use existing cables such as RG as it may cause signal loss. Also, be sure that any outdoor connections are made using waterproof F-connectors rated for MHz or greater. The cable length between the DISH Damage caused by over-tightening is not covered by the limited warranty.

Tighten all indoor coaxial cable connections to the receiver only by hand. If you use a wrench, you may over-tighten the connections and damage your equipment. Connect a temporary cable to a peaking meter.

Thread the other end of the cable through the LNBF arm and bracket. Attach the LNBFs to the bracket using the included screws. Do not adjust the skew. Ensure you are peaking the dish using transponder 11 or higher. With the peaking meter still connected, tighten the mast clamp and elevation bolts using the torque values listed in Table 1 on page 6. Re-confirm signal strength after tightening the bolts.
