Automated RHN Satellite Server Installation

Option Usage

--skip-gpg-key-import Do not import Red Hat's GPG key.

--skip-ssl-cert-generation Do not generate the SSL certificates for the Satellite.

--run-updater Do not ask to install needed packages from RHN, if the system

is registered.

4.3. Automated RHN Satellite Server Installation

One option of the RHN Satellite Installation Program allows the user to reference an answer file. This

file contains pre-determined responses to all, or some, of the questions asked by the installer program.

This allows the installer to run without human interaction, and may be useful in instances where

Satellite deployment must be automated. An example answer file can be found in the install/

directory of the CD or ISO, and is titled answers.txt.

Follow the steps below to perform an automated install with an answer file:

1. Follow steps 1 through 5 from Section 4.2, “RHN Satellite Installation Program”.

2. Copy the example answers.txt file to /tmp/answers.txt

cp answers.txt /tmp/answers.txt

3. Edit the file and add your organization's desired options.

4. Once the answer file is ready, use the --answer-file option when starting the installation

process from the command line:

./install.pl --answer-file=/tmp/answers.txt

The RHN Satellite Installation Program then looks for answers in the file. For any option no filled

out in the file, the Installer Program prompts the user for the missing information.

4.4. Installing Satellite behind an HTTP Proxy

Due to the way that RHN Satellite uses the rhn.conf to control its connection settings, there is no

way to add options to that file prior to installation of RHN Satellite. If your network is behind an HTTP

proxy in your organization, you cannot activate the RHN Satellite at installation time. A workaround to

this issue is to first perform a disconnected installation of RHN Satellite, then switch the configuration

to a connected method after installation is completed. The following demonstrates how to create a

connected RHN Satellite installation behind an HTTP proxy:

1. Complete a minimal installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 or 5 (depending on the version of

RHN Satellite that you will install).

2. Configure the system so that it can connect to RHN behind the HTTP proxy. Edit the file /etc/

sysconfig/rhn/up2date.conf as follows:

enableProxy=1

enableProxyAuth=1

httpProxy=<http-proxy-fqdn>

proxyUser=<proxy-username>

1 2 ... 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 ... 85 86
