Appendix B. Host Management Without Goferd

The following must be made on all content hosts to allow host management by remote execution.

These steps configure host management to use remote execution as the system default for future package deployments.

The Satellite server now uses host management by remote execution instead of goferd.

The following applies if you are using the hammer command to push errata. The hammer command is dependent on goferd to manage errata on content hosts. As a workaround, use Satellite’s remote execution feature to apply errata.

hammer job-invocation create \
--job-template "Run Command - SSH Default" \
--inputs command="yum -y update" \
--search-query "name ~ host123"

# hammer job-invocation create \
--job-template "Run Command - SSH Default" \
--inputs command="yum -y update" \
--search-query "name ~ host123"
