Red Hat Satellite 6 Administration

Instructions

1. Log in to the Satellite Server web UI, https://satellite.lab.example.com, as the admin user with redhat as the password.

2. In the upper-left corner of the web page, set the organization to Operations. Set the location to Boston.

3. View the current status of the recently installed Capsule Server.

   1. Verify that the Capsule Server contains no synced content. Click Infrastructure → Capsules, and then click capsule.lab.example.com. Click the Content tab, and notice that no content is synced to the Capsule Server from the Satellite Server.

   2. View the current status of the Capsule Server services. Click the Services tab, and notice that the capsule is running the following services: Container_Gateway, Dynflow, Content, Registration, SSH, and Templates.

   3. Click the Logs tab, and notice the most recent log messages about initialization of Capsule Server services.

4. Install and enable the Ansible service in the Capsule Server.

   1. Log in to the capsule system as the student user and switch to the root user.

      [student@workstation ~]$ ssh student@capsule
      [student@capsule ~]$ sudo -i
      [sudo] password for student: student
      [root@capsule ~]#

   2. Review the Capsule Server options for the Foreman proxy services. Look for the --enable-foreman-proxy-plugin-ansible option and read the description for the service to be installed.

      [root@capsule ~]# satellite-installer --scenario capsule --help
