A Red Hat training course is available for Red Hat Satellite
2.3.2. Managed Database Requirements
This section outlines additional steps for administrators installing Red Hat Satellite using a Managed Database. The Managed Database component installs essential packages containing the database server and Red Hat Satellite tools to a machine separate from the Red Hat Satellite server.
Note
The same media used for a Red Hat Satellite installation is also used for the Managed Database installation.
Procedure 2.1. Installing the Managed Database
- Register to Red Hat Subscription Management. Run the following command to register your system, entering your Customer Portal user name and password when prompted:
# subscription-manager register
The command displays output similar to the following:Registering to: subscription.rhsm.redhat.com:443/subscription Username: user_name Password: password The system has been registered with ID: aa2e5c34-b8d0-4388-b912-6be761c632b1
- Identify and attach the Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Satellite subscriptions.List all available subscriptions.
# subscription-manager list --all --available
Attach the subscriptions. If there are multiple subscriptions to be attached, repeat the--pool=pool_id
parameter.# subscription-manager attach --pool=pool_id
- Enable the Red Hat Enterprise Linux repository appropriate to your operating system version.For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
# subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-6-server-rpms
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5# subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-5-server-rpms
- Mount the Red Hat Satellite installation media.Mount as a CD:
# mkdir /media/cdrom # mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
Mount as an ISO:# mkdir /media/cdrom # mount -o loop iso_filename /media/cdrom
- Change to the mounted directory.
# cd /media/cdrom
- Run the
install.pl
script with the--managed-db
and--disconnected
options.# ./install.pl --managed-db --disconnected
Note
The--disconnected
option is required to prevent the installer attempting to connect to Red Hat Network. - The
install.pl
script asks for the following information.- Database name
- Database user
- Database password
- A comma-separated list of local addresses to listen. Leave blank for all addresses.
- A comma-separated list of remote addresses of Satellite servers, in address/netmask format. The Managed Database allows connections from these addresses.
Database name: mydb Database user: mydbuser Database password: mydbpassword Local addresses to listen on (comma-separated, RETURN for all): 127.0.0.1 Remote addresses to allow connection from (address/netmask format, comma-separated): 192.168.1.10/32 Initializing database: [ OK ] Starting postgresql service: [ OK ]
The script installs the necessary packages for your Managed Database. This includes a set of management tools for database.The script also prepares the database for your Red Hat Satellite installation. - Enable the Managed DB repository according to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux version, and hardware platform.For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and AMD64 and Intel 64
# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-6-server-satellite-manageddb-5.6-rpms
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and IBM System z# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-6-system-z-satellite-manageddb-5.6-rpms
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and AMD64 and Intel 64# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-5-server-satellite-manageddb-5.6-rpms
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and IBM System z# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-5-system-z-satellite-manageddb-5.6-rpms
- When the script completes, install your Red Hat Satellite using the instructions from Chapter 4, Installation.
