Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Automation Hub operator 2.3
  • Automation Hub operator 2.2
  • Automation Hub operator 2.1

Issue

  • Need to configure the connection between the Ansible Automation controller and the Automation Hub installed on OpenShift.

    No Controllers available
If the Controller is not listed in the table, check settings.py

Resolution

  1. Install OpenShift CLI .

  2. Login to the OpenShift instance or cluster .

  3. Use "oc" command to patch the current Automation hub instance on OpenShift :

    # oc patch automationhubs.automationhub.ansible.com/[Hub Instance Name] --type merge -p '{"spec": {"pulp_settings": {"CONNECTED_ANSIBLE_CONTROLLERS": ["https://Ansible Automation Controller FQDN"]}}}'

  4. Restart all Hub pods.

Root Cause

  • Automation Hub has been installed separately and it is not configured to be connected to the Controller.

Diagnostic Steps

  • Try to "Use in Controller" any of the current Execution Environments on the Hub.

    No Controllers available
If the Controller is not listed in the table, check settings.py
