3.4. Options for Installing the User Interface
The following tables outline the options available when installing the user interface for the installer.
3.4.1. Networking Setup Options
The following table outlines the options available in the networking setup step of installing the user interface.
Table 3.1. Networking Setup Options
| Option | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Network interface | The network interface on which the provisioning network is to be configured. The default values of other networking options, such as the IP address and Network address, are automatically specified based on the network interface you select. | ||
IP Address | The IP address of the machine where the user interface is being installed. | ||
Network mask | The network mask of the machine where the user interface is being installed. This value is also used to populate the network mask of the default subnet that the installer configures to act as the provisioning network. | ||
Network address | The network address of the default subnet that the installer configures to act as the provisioning network. This address must be in CIDR format. For example, XX.XX.XX.0/24. | ||
Host gateway | The address of a machine that can act as a gateway for the machine where the user interface is being installed. | ||
DHCP range start | The first address in the range of IP addresses that the installer can assign to machines on the provisioning network. This value is also used to populate the DHCP range start of the default subnet that the installer configures to act as the provisioning network. | ||
DHCP range end | The last address in the range of IP addresses that the installer can assign to machines on the provisioning network. This value is also used to populate the DHCP range end of the default subnet that the installer configures to act as the provisioning network. | ||
DHCP Gateway | The address of a machine that can act as a gateway for machines that the installer provisions. By default, the address of the machine where the user interface is being installed is specified as the DHCP gateway. If you have not configured the machine on which the user interface is being installed to act as a gateway, you must edit this value and specify the address of a machine that can perform this function. | ||
DNS forwarder | The address of a machine that can resolve IP addresses and host names. This value is also used to populate the primary DNS of the default subnet that the installer configures to act as the provisioning network. | ||
Domain | The name of the domain that the installer provides. The name of the domain must match that of the fully qualified domain name of the machine where the user interface is being installed. | ||
Foreman URL | The address for accessing the user interface. By default, this value is set to the fully qualified domain name of the machine where the user interface is being installed. | ||
NTP sync host | The address of an NTP server that the installer can use to synchronize the time on machines that it provisions. | ||
Timezone | The timezone that the installer applies to machines that it provisions. Timezones must be in the format of an IANA time zone identifier such as America/New_York or Asia/Tokyo. |
3.4.2. Client Authentication Options
The following table outlines the options available in the client authentication step of installing the user interface.
Table 3.2. Client Authentication Options
| Option | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
SSH public key | A public SSH key that is copied to machines that the installer provisions. | ||
Root password | The password for the root user on machines the installer provisions. The password must be at least eight characters in length. If you do not manually specify a password, a random password is generated. |
3.4.3. Installation Media Options
The following table outlines the options available in the installation media step of installing the user interface.
Table 3.3. Installation Media Options
| Option | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Set RHEL repo path (http or https URL) | The address of a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 installation tree. The path must end in the directory that contains directories such as isolinux, LiveOS, and repodata. This option is used to populate the default installation media entry that the installer uses to install the base operating system on machines that it provisions. |
3.4.4. Subscription Manager Options
The following table outlines the options available in the Subscription Manager step of installing the user interface.
Table 3.4. Subscription Manager Options

Subscription manager password | A password that can be used to authenticate the above account. | ||
Comma separated repositories | A comma-separated list of repositories to enable on machines that the installer provisions. By default, the rhel-7-server-openstack-5.0-rpms channel, which provides the packages required to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform components, is provided. | ||
Subscription manager pool (recommended) | The ID of an entitlement pool to attach to machines that the installer provisions. Only a single entitlement pool ID can be specified, and if no entitlement pool ID is specified, the installer attempts to auto-attach the required entitlement pool. | ||
Subscription manager proxy hostname | The host name of a machine that can be used as a Subscription Manager proxy. | ||
Subscription manager proxy port | The port by which to connect with the Subscription Manager proxy. | ||
Subscription manager proxy username | A username by which to connect with the Subscription Manager proxy. | ||
