+9I have a master NetSUS which works fine and my clients can get updates from it.
I now want to cascade the updates to a secondary appliance. I have tried following: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/reposado/cascade/reposado/lokxC7Q50vg/b0O0yOE2C6EJ
but struggling to get it up and running.
Is anyone cascading updates that can help?
+13so does your edit to the preferences.plist give you the desired results? you should be able to run a repo_sync to verify.
you might want to include other catalogs to mirror, though. as greg said, including just the index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1_testing.sucatalog catalog will only replicate your test branch of the lion catalog.
+9Ok I see, I get that now re catalogs I thought it worked differently. On the client side we have 10.6 and 10.7 in our environment. Just to clarify, am I able to point 10.6 and 10.7 to CatalogURL http://10.30.107.97/content/catalogs/others/index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1_testing.sucatalog
?
+10" I able to point 10.6 and 10.7 to CatalogURL http://10.30.107.97/content/catalogs/others/index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1_testing.sucatalog"
Yes, you are able to do that. But that's not Apple's recommended or supported configuration. Apple has separate catalogs for each major OS. You should point your clients at those OS-specific catalogs.

+35I thought the approved way for 10.5+ was to use index.sucatalog?
+13you can use index.sucatalog if you've configured apache rewrite rules on the server side. apple's sus does that for you as of server 10.6.7 or so. not sure if that's in place with the netsus vm, but i doubt it. you'll have to configure it yourself.
+10If you do configure Apache rewrite rules, make sure you also take into account any branches you may have created.
