If your organization mirrors Red Hat Edge Manager RPMs with Red Hat subscription tooling or Red Hat Satellite, sync RPMs with dnf reposync instead of bundling them with mirror-images.

Meet the shared target host prerequisites in Installing Red Hat Edge Manager on Red Hat Enterprise Linux in disconnected environments before you start this path.

Use this path when

• Your organization already stages Red Hat Edge Manager RPMs with Red Hat subscription tooling or Red Hat Satellite
• A private registry on the disconnected site already holds, or will hold, Red Hat Edge Manager container images before you start services
• You need agent and CLI RPMs for edge devices in addition to the management server
• You will reuse the offline RPM tree for other workflows (for example image builder workers; see Configuring the image builder worker in disconnected environments in the Additional resources section)

Use Offline installation bundle when you want images and RPMs in a single portable archive.

Prerequisites on the prep machine (internet-connected)

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 or 10 with skopeo installed (sudo dnf install -y skopeo)
• An active Red Hat Edge Manager subscription and repository entitlement on the staging host
• dnf-plugins-core installed
• The prep machine runs the same Red Hat Enterprise Linux major version and architecture as the air-gapped target
• Sufficient disk space for the RPM tree (size depends on whether you sync the full repository or download agent packages only)
• Container images mirrored separately to a private registry reachable from the air-gapped target before you start Red Hat Edge Manager services

Complete this path in order:

• Preparing offline RPMs with subscription repositories
• Transferring an offline RPM repository
• Configuring registry redirection for disconnected installs
• Installing from a local RPM repository (management server)
• Installing the agent and CLI on air-gapped edge devices (edge devices)
