Chapter 8. Managing locations


Locations function similar to organizations: they provide a method to group resources and assign hosts.

Organizations and locations have the following conceptual differences:

  • Locations are based on physical or geographical settings.
  • Locations have a hierarchical structure.

You can structure locations hierarchically by providing a parent location. Unless otherwise specified, locations inherit the settings from their parent location.

8.1. Creating a location by using Satellite web UI

From the Satellite web UI, use this procedure to create a location so that you can manage your hosts and resources by location.

Procedure

  1. In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Administer > Locations.
  2. Click New Location.
  3. Optional: From the Parent list, select a parent location. This creates a location hierarchy.
  4. In the Name field, enter a name for the location.
  5. Optional: In the Description field, enter a description for the location.
  6. Click Submit.
  7. If you have hosts with no location assigned, add any hosts that you want to assign to the new location, then click Proceed to Edit.
  8. Assign any infrastructure resources that you want to add to the location. This includes networking resources, installation media, Kickstart templates, and other parameters. You can return to this page at any time by navigating to Administer > Locations and then selecting a location to edit.
  9. Click Submit to save your changes.

8.2. Creating a location by using Hammer CLI

Use this procedure to create a location by using Hammer CLI so that you can manage your hosts and resources by location.

Procedure

  • Create a location:

    $ hammer location create \
    --description "My_Location_Description" \
    --name "My_Location" \
    --parent-id "My_Location_Parent_ID"

Example 8.1. Creating multiple locations

The following example Bash script creates three locations – London, Munich, Boston – and assigns them to the Example Organization.

ORG="Example Organization"
LOCATIONS="London Munich Boston"

for LOC in ${LOCATIONS}
do
  hammer location create --name "${LOC}"
  hammer location add-organization --name "${LOC}" --organization "${ORG}"
done

8.3. Setting the location context by using Satellite web UI

A location context defines the location to use for a host and its associated resources.

Procedure

  1. In the Satellite web UI, navigate to the top menu bar. The location menu is the second menu item in the menu bar, on the upper left of the Satellite web UI.
  2. If you have not selected a current location, the menu displays Any Location. Click Any location and select the location to use.

8.4. Setting the location context by using Hammer CLI

A location context defines the location to use for a host and its associated resources.

Procedure

  • While using the CLI, include either --location "My_Location" or --location-id "My_Location_ID" as an option. For example:

    $ hammer host list --location "My_Location"

    This command lists hosts associated with the My_Location location.

8.5. Deleting a location by using Satellite web UI

You can delete a location if the location is not associated with any lifecycle environments or host groups.

If there are any lifecycle environments or host groups associated with the location you are about to delete, remove them by navigating to Administer > Locations and clicking the relevant location. Do not delete the default location created during installation because the default location is a placeholder for any unassociated hosts in the Satellite environment. There must be at least one location in the environment at any given time.

Procedure

  1. In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Administer > Locations.
  2. Select Delete from the list to the right of the name of the location you want to delete.
  3. Click OK to delete the location.

8.6. Deleting a location by using Hammer CLI

You can delete a location if the location is not associated with any lifecycle environments or host groups.

If there are any lifecycle environments or host groups associated with the location you are about to delete, remove them. Do not delete the default location created during installation because the default location is a placeholder for any unassociated hosts in the Satellite environment. There must be at least one location in the environment at any given time.

Procedure

  1. View all locations:

    $ hammer location list

    From the output, note the ID of the location that you want to delete.

  2. Delete a location:

    $ hammer location delete --id My_Location_ID
