4.10.2. Configuring Hosts to Use an Alternate Satellite CNAME for Content Management
If Satellite is configured with an alternate CNAME, you can configure hosts to use the alternate Satellite CNAME for content management. To do this, you must point hosts to the alternate Satellite CNAME prior to registering the hosts to Satellite. You can do this using the bootstrap script or manually.
Configuring Hosts with the bootstrap Script
On the host, run the bootstrap script with the --server alternate_fqdn.example.com option to register the host to the alternate Satellite CNAME:
# ./bootstrap.py --server alternate_fqdn.example.com
Configuring Hosts Manually
On the host, edit the /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf file to update hostname and baseurl settings to point to the alternate host name, for example:
[server]
# Server hostname:
hostname = alternate_fqdn.example.com
content omitted
[rhsm]
# Content base URL:
baseurl=https://alternate_fqdn.example.com/pulp/repos
Now you can register the host with the subscription-manager.
