6.2.2. Selecting a Package Source
If you do not supply an
install_method parameter, the scripts assume that the installation source has already been configured to provide the required packages. Using the install_method parameter, the scripts can be configured to install packages from one of the following sources:
| Parameter | Description | Additional Related Parameters |
|---|---|---|
yum | Configures yum based on supplied additional parameters. | rhel_repo, rhel_optional_repo, jboss_repo_base, rhscl_repo_base, ose_repo_base, ose_extra_repo_base |
rhsm | Uses Red Hat Subscription Management. | rhn_user, rhn_pass, sm_reg_pool, rhn_reg_opts |
rhn | Uses RHN Classic. | rhn_user, rhn_pass, rhn_reg_opts, rhn_reg_actkey |
Note
While Red Hat Network (RHN) Classic can be used to subscribe to channels, it is primarily intended for existing, legacy systems. Red Hat
strongly recommends that you use Red Hat Subscription Management for new installations. For details on how to migrate from RHN Classic to RHSM, see the OpenShift Enterprise Administration Guide.
See the commented notes in the header of the scripts for detailed information about each of the additional related parameters.
For example, the following command runs the
openshift.sh script and uses Red Hat Subscription Management as the package source, using default values for all unspecified parameters:
