3.1. Command Line Entitlement Options

The rhn-satellite-activate tool offers a handful of command line options for activating a

Satellite using its RHN Entitlement Certificate:

Option Description

-h, --help Display the help screen with a list of options.

--sanity-only Confirm certificate sanity. Does not activate the

Satellite locally or remotely.

--disconnected Activates locally but not on remote RHN Servers.

--rhn-cert=/PATH/TO/CERT Uploads new certificate and activates the Satellite

based upon the other options passed (if any).

--systemid=/PATH/TO/SYSTEMID For testing only - Provides an alternative system ID

by path and file. The system default is used if not

specified.

--no-ssl For testing only - Disable SSL.

Table 5.1. RHN Entitlement Certificate Options

To use these options, insert the option and the appropriate value, if needed, after the

rhn-satellite-activate command. Refer to Section 3.2, “Activating the Satellite”.

3.2. Activating the Satellite

You should use the options in Table 5.1, “RHN Entitlement Certificate Options” to accomplish

the following tasks in this order:

1. Validate the RHN Entitlement Certificate's sanity (or usefulness).

2. Activate the Satellite locally by inserting the RHN Entitlement Certificate into the local

database.

3. Activate the Satellite remotely by inserting the RHN Entitlement Certificate into the central

RHN (remote) database. This is typically accomplished during local activation but may

require a second step if you chose the --disconnected option.

Here are some examples depicting use of the tool and these options.

To validate an RHN Entitlement Certificate's sanity only:

rhn-satellite-activate --sanity-only --rhn-cert=/path/to/demo.cert
