4.3. Configuring Satellite Server with External TFTP

Procedure

1. Create the TFTP directory for NFS:

   # mkdir -p /mnt/nfs/var/lib/tftpboot

2. In the /etc/fstab file, add the following line:

   TFTP_Server_IP_Address:/exports/var/lib/tftpboot /mnt/nfs/var/lib/tftpboot nfs rw,vers=3,auto,nosharecache,context="system_u:object_r:tftpdir_rw_t:s0" 0 0

3. Mount the file systems in /etc/fstab:

   # mount -a

4. Enter the satellite-installer command to make the following persistent changes to the /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d/tftp.yml file:

   # satellite-installer --foreman-proxy-tftp=true \
   --foreman-proxy-tftp-root /mnt/nfs/var/lib/tftpboot

5. If the TFTP service is running on a different server than the DHCP service, update the tftp_servername setting with the FQDN or IP address of the server that the TFTP service is running on:

   # satellite-installer --foreman-proxy-tftp-servername=TFTP_Server_FQDN

6. Log in to the Satellite Server web UI.
7. Navigate to Infrastructure > Capsules, locate the Satellite Server, and from the list in the Actions column, select Refresh.
8. Associate the TFTP service with the appropriate subnets and domain.
