2.5. Creating Architectures
An architecture in Satellite represents a logical grouping of hosts and operating systems. Architectures are created by Satellite automatically when hosts check in with Puppet. Basic i386 and x86_64 architectures are already preset in Satellite.
Use this procedure to create an architecture in Satellite.
Supported Architectures
Only Intel x86_64 architecture is supported for provisioning using PXE, Discovery, and boot disk. For more information, see the Red Hat Knowledgebase solution Supported architectures and provisioning scenarios in Satellite 6.
Procedure
- In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Hosts > Architectures and click Create Architecture.
- In the Name field, enter a name for the architecture.
- From the Operating Systems list, select an operating system. If none are available, you can create and assign them under Hosts > Operating Systems.
- Click Submit.
