3.6. Configuring the Global Capsule Remote Execution Setting in Satellite
By default, Satellite searches for remote execution Capsules in hosts' organizations and locations regardless of whether Capsules are assigned to hosts' subnets or not. You can disable the Enable Global Capsule setting if you want to limit the search to the Capsules that are assigned to hosts' subnets.
If the Enable Global Capsule setting is enabled, Satellite adds another set of Capsules to select the remote execution Capsule from. Satellite also selects the most lightly loaded remote execution Capsule from the set of all Capsules in the host’s organization and location to execute a remote job.
Procedure
- In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Administer > Settings.
- Click RemoteExection.
- Configure the Enable Global Capsule setting.
For CLI Users
Enter the hammer settings set command on Satellite to configure the Enable Global Capsule setting. For example, to set the value to true, enter the following command:
# hammer settings set --name=remote_execution_global_proxy --value=true
