| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| choice="plain"> hostname |
Sets the name of the host entry to create, based on the fully-qualified domain name of the host.
IMPORTANT
This must be a valid DNS name, which means only numbers, alphabetic characters, and hyphens (-) are allowed. Other characters, like underscores, in the hostname will cause DNS failures.
|
| --desc="description" | Gives a text description of the host. |
| --locality="cityName" | Gives the geographical location, usually a city, where the host machine is. |
| --location="loction" | Gives the physical location, like a colocation facility, room number, or rack, where the host machine is. |
| --platform="hardware_description" | Gives a hardware description of the host machine. |
| --os="OS_version" | Gives the operating system type, such as "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6". |
| --password="enrollment_password" | For a bulk enrollment, manually sets a password to use to proceed with the enrollment. |
| --random | For a bulk enrollment, randomly generates a password to use to proceed with the enrollment. |
| --certificate="base64_cert" | Contains the full base 64-encoded blob for a server certificate for the host. |
| --force | Forces the server to create a host entry with the given name, even if the hostname cannot be resolved in DNS. |
| --no-reverse | Skips DNS reverse lookups for the hostname. |
| --ip-address=IPaddress | Adds the host machine using its IP address, rather than the hostname. |
