Chapter 3. Performing additional configuration on Capsule Server

Verification

1. List the current trusted proxies using the full help of Satellite installer:

   # satellite-installer --full-help | grep -A 2 "trusted-proxies"

2. The current listing contains all trusted proxies you require.

Procedure

1. Enable the pull-based transport on your Capsule Server:

   # satellite-installer --foreman-proxy-plugin-remote-execution-script-mode=pull-mqtt

2. Configure the firewall to allow the MQTT service on port 1883:

   # firewall-cmd --add-service=mqtt

3. Make the changes persistent:

   # firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent

4. In pull-mqtt mode, hosts subscribe for job notifications to either your Satellite Server or any Capsule Server through which they are registered. Ensure that Satellite Server sends remote execution jobs to that same Satellite Server or Capsule Server:

   1. In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Administer > Settings.
   2. On the Content tab, set the value of Prefer registered through Capsule for remote execution to Yes.

Procedure

1. In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Infrastructure > Capsules, and select the Capsule that you want to add a lifecycle to.
2. Click Edit and click the Lifecycle Environments tab.
3. From the left menu, select the lifecycle environments that you want to add to Capsule and click Submit.
4. To synchronize the content on the Capsule, click the Overview tab and click Synchronize.

5. Select either Optimized Sync or Complete Sync.

   For definitions of each synchronization type, see Recovering a Repository.

CLI procedure

1. To display a list of all Capsule Servers, on Satellite Server, enter the following command:

   # hammer capsule list

   Note the Capsule ID of the Capsule to which you want to add a lifecycle.

2. Using the ID, verify the details of your Capsule:

   # hammer capsule info \
   --id My_capsule_ID

3. To view the lifecycle environments available for your Capsule Server, enter the following command and note the ID and the organization name:

   # hammer capsule content available-lifecycle-environments \
   --id My_capsule_ID

4. Add the lifecycle environment to your Capsule Server:

   # hammer capsule content add-lifecycle-environment \
   --id My_capsule_ID \
   --lifecycle-environment-id My_Lifecycle_Environment_ID
   --organization "My_Organization"

   Repeat for each lifecycle environment you want to add to Capsule Server.

5. Synchronize the content from Satellite to Capsule.

   • To synchronize all content from your Satellite Server environment to Capsule Server, enter the following command:

     # hammer capsule content synchronize \
     --id My_capsule_ID

   • To synchronize a specific lifecycle environment from your Satellite Server to Capsule Server, enter the following command:

     # hammer capsule content synchronize \
     --id My_capsule_ID
     --lifecycle-environment-id My_Lifecycle_Environment_ID

   • To synchronize all content from your Satellite Server to your Capsule Server without checking metadata:

     # hammer capsule content synchronize \
     --id My_capsule_ID \
     --skip-metadata-check true

     This equals selecting Complete Sync in the Satellite web UI.
