Chapter 8. Configuring Satellite to provision from a Red Hat Image Builder image

Procedure

1. On Satellite, create a custom product, add a custom file type repository to this product, and upload the image to the repository. For more information, see Importing individual ISO images and files in Managing content.
2. In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Configure > Host Groups.
3. Select the host group that you want to use.
4. Click the Parameters tab, and then click Add Parameter.

5. Create a parameter named kickstart_liveimg with type string and set the value to the full URL of the image location or the file name of the image inside a published content view, for example:

   • Full URL: https://capsule.example.com/pulp/content/My_Organization_Label/Library/custom/My_Product_Label/My_Repository_Label/My_Image_Name.tar

   • Image file name: My_Image_Name.tar

     You can use the image file name only if the host is subscribed to a single content view and lifecycle environment, and the kt_activation_keys parameter is defined for the host. The content view must be published.

     If a content source is assigned to the host, Satellite will use the content source Capsule of the host. If a content source is not assigned, Satellite will use Satellite Server.
