Prep’ng a RDS Database instance for Satellite 6 installation

This is a note for myself on what had to be done to prep RDS database to connect it with Red Hat Satellite 6 installation.

UPDATE:
Currently, Red Hat Satellite using RDS doesn’t work for 2 reasons;
* For Red Hat Satellite 6.10, Postgresql 12.1 the only version of DB supported as an external DB

While I was trying to install oldest Postgresql available was 12.5.

  • Require “rh-postgresql12-postgresql-evr” pkg
    Installation will fail saying ;
    rh-postgresql12-postgresql-evr pkg with a matching version with the RDS, which doesn’t exist.
