Chapter 8. Setting the load balancer for host registration
You can configure Satellite to register clients through a load balancer when using the host registration feature.
You will be able to register hosts to the load balancer instead of Capsule. The load balancer will decide through which Capsule to register the host at the time of request. Upon registration, the subscription manager on the host will be configured to manage content through the load balancer.
Prerequisites
You configured SSL certificates on all Capsule Servers. For more information, see the following sections:
- Chapter 3, Configuring Capsule Servers with default SSL certificates for load balancing.
- Chapter 4, Configuring Capsule Servers with custom SSL certificates for load balancing.
- Chapter 5, Configuring Capsule Servers with default SSL certificates for load balancing (with Puppet).
- Chapter 6, Configuring Capsule Servers with custom SSL certificates for load balancing (with Puppet).
You enabled Registration and Templates plugins on all Capsule Servers:
# satellite-installer \ --foreman-proxy-registration true \ --foreman-proxy-templates true
Procedure
On all Capsule Servers, set the registration and template URLs using
satellite-installer:# satellite-installer \ --foreman-proxy-registration-url "https://loadbalancer.example.com:9090" \ --foreman-proxy-template-url "http://loadbalancer.example.com:8000"
- In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Infrastructure > Capsules.
- For each Capsule, click the dropdown menu in the Actions column and select Refresh.
