1.6. Adding Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Roles
Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Roles is a configuration interface to remotely manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers. You can use Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Roles to add Ansible roles in Satellite. Using Ansible Roles in Satellite can make configuration faster and easier.
Support levels for some of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Roles might be in Technology Preview. For up-to-date information about support levels and general information about Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Roles, see Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Roles.

Procedure
Ensure that the
rhel-7-server-extras-rpmsrepository is enabled.# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-extras-rpms
Install the
rhel-system-rolespackage.# satellite-maintain packages install rhel-system-roles
The
rhel-system-rolespackage downloads to/usr/share/ansible/roles/. You can view and make any modifications that you want to the files before you import.- In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Configure > Roles and click the Capsule that contains the roles that you want to import.
- From the list of Ansible roles, select the check box of the roles you want to import, and then click Update.
You can now assign Ansible roles to hosts or host groups. For more information, see Assigning Ansible Roles to an Existing Host in Configuring Satellite to Use Ansible.
You can also add the modules contained in these roles to your Ansible playbooks by adding them to Ansible Job Templates. You must include the hosts:all line in the job template. For more information, see Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) System Roles.
