In this post it is about doing the initial configuration so that packages can be synchronized from the Red Hat content network and subscriptions are available to be consumed by clients. This requires some initial tasks to be done in the Satellite itself but also in the Red Hat portal where you can manage your subscriptions. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>When you log on to the Satellite Console for the first time you&#8217;ll land on the monitoring page:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Selection_066-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Selection_066-1.png\" alt=\"Selection_066\" width=\"1860\" height=\"898\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28447\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAs we currently do not have any systems managed by this Satellite system the overview is quite boring at the moment. The first task we need to do for going further is to create an &#8220;Organization&#8221;. Organizations are logical groups you should use to divide your infrastructure to whatever makes sense in your case, could be a division, could be based on content, whatever. This can either be done using the Console but it can also be done by using the command line utility <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/theforeman\/hammer-cli\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hammer<\/a>.
