Chapter 2. Installing standalone Hammer

You can install Hammer on a host running RHEL that has no Satellite Server installed, and use it to connect from the host to a remote Satellite.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure that you register the host to Satellite Server or Capsule Server.

  • Ensure that the following repositories are enabled and synchronized on Satellite Server:

    • rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms
    • rhel-9-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms
    • satellite-utils-6.19-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms

Procedure

  1. Enable the required repositories on the host.

  2. Install Hammer CLI: 

    # dnf install satellite-cli

  3. Set the :host: entry in the /etc/hammer/cli.modules.d/foreman.yml file to the Satellite URL: 

    :host: 'https://satellite.example.com'
