Chapter 8. Installing Red Hat Update Infrastructure
Once you have completed the prerequisites, you can install RHUI on your system. You can install RHUI using repositories and a network connection to resolve dependencies.
8.1. Installing Red Hat Update Infrastructure using repositories
Perform the following steps to install Red Hat Update Infrastructure (RHUI) on your system using repositories.
Prerequisites
- Ensure that you have registered all the nodes and attached the relevant subscriptions. For more information, see Chapter 3, Registering your system and attaching subscriptions.
- Ensure that your system can access the internet.
- Ensure you have root access to the RHUA node.
Procedure
Navigate to the RHUA node and install the
rhui-installer
package.# dnf install rhui-installer
Run the installer and specify the arguments based on your use case.
Note that the following arguments are mandatory:
- --remote-fs-server: The remote mountpoint for the shared file system.
- --cds-lb-hostname: The name of the load balancer that clients use to access the CDS. You must specify the name as a fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
--rhua-hostname: The hostname of the RHUA node. You must specify the name as a fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
ImportantThe rhui-installer sets the initial RHUI login password by default and stores it in the
/etc/rhui/rhui-subscription-sync.conf
file.If you wish to set your own password, you can override the initial password with the
--rhui-manager-password
argument.# rhui-installer --remote-fs-server <nfs_server>:/ --rhua-hostname <public-hostname-of-your-rhua> --cds-lb-hostname <public-hostname-of-your-cds-or-lb>
Verification
On the RHUA node, verify if you can access the RHUI Terminal User Interface (TUI).
