3.5. Configuring the Fallback to Any Capsule Remote Execution Setting in Satellite
You can enable the Fallback to Any Capsule setting to configure Satellite to search for remote execution Capsules from the list of Capsules that are assigned to hosts. This can be useful if you need to run remote jobs on hosts that have no subnets configured or if the hosts' subnets are assigned to Capsules that do not have the remote execution feature enabled.
If the Fallback to Any Capsule setting is enabled, Satellite adds another set of Capsules to select the remote execution Capsule from. Satellite also selects the most lightly loaded Capsule from the set of all Capsules assigned to the host, such as the following:
- DHCP, DNS and TFTP Capsules assigned to the host’s subnets
- DNS Capsule assigned to the host’s domain
- Realm Capsule assigned to the host’s realm
- Puppet Master Capsule
- Puppet CA Capsule
- OpenSCAP Capsule
Procedure
- In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Administer > Settings.
- Click RemoteExecution.
- Configure the Fallback to Any Capsule setting.
For CLI Users
Enter the hammer settings set
command on Satellite to configure the Fallback to Any Capsule setting. For example, to set the value to true
, enter the following command:
hammer settings set --name=remote_execution_fallback_proxy --value=true
# hammer settings set --name=remote_execution_fallback_proxy --value=true
