Chapter 1. Red Hat Package Manager-based installation

Procedure

1. Follow the steps provided in Installing on virtual machines until the section Installing Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform and ensure you download the Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 version of the RPM-based installer.

2. Use the following example to populate the inventory file to deploy a new single instance of Event-Driven Ansible controller 1.1:

   # This is the Ansible Automation Platform mixed enterprise installer inventory file
   # Consult the docs if you are unsure what to add
   # For all optional variables consult the Red Hat documentation:
   # https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_ansible_automation_platform/2.5/html/rpm_installation

   Note

   Keep controller out of the inventory file. Ensure that [automationcontroller] is an empty group. Only add an Event-Driven Ansible 2.5 server. Do not add an Event-Driven Ansible 2.4 server since there is no upgrade option available

3. Continue with the steps in Installing Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.

1. Upload the 2.5 de-supported decision environment to automation hub. For more information, see Pushing a container image to private automation hub.

   Note

   If you are doing a bundle install, the image is included in the setup bundle .tar file.

2. Create an automation hub container registry credential in Event-Driven Ansible. For more information, see Setting up credentials.
