Chapter 7. Manually Installing and Configuring a Broker Host

Procedure 7.1. To Configure Broker Host Entitlements with Red Hat Subscription Management:

1. On your Red Hat Enterprise Linux instance, register the system:

   Example 7.1. Registering Using the Subscription Manager

   # subscription-manager register
   				
   Username:
   Password:
   
   The system has been registered with id: 3tghj35d1-7c19-4734-b638-f24tw8eh6246

2. Locate the desired OpenShift Enterprise subscription pool IDs in the list of available subscriptions for your account:

   Example 7.2. Finding the OpenShift Enterprise Pool ID

   # subscription-manager list --available
   				
   +-------------------------------------------+
       Available Subscriptions
   +-------------------------------------------+
   
   Subscription Name:      OpenShift Enterprise Broker Infrastructure
   SKU:                    SYS####
   Pool Id:                Example_3affb61f013b3ef6a5fe0b9a
   Quantity:               1
   Service Level:          Layered
   Service Type:           L1-L3
   Multi-Entitlement:      No
   Ends:                   01/01/2020
   System Type:            Physical

3. Attach the desired subscription. Replace pool-id in the following command with your relevant Pool ID value from the previous step:

   # subscription-manager attach --pool pool-id

4. Enable only the Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 2.2 Infrastructure channel:

   # subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-6-server-ose-2.2-infra-rpms

5. Confirm that yum repolist displays the enabled channel:

   # yum repolist
   
   repo id                            repo name
   
   rhel-6-server-ose-2.2-infra-rpms   Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 2.2 Infrastructure (RPMs)

   OpenShift Enterprise broker hosts require a customized yum configuration to install correctly. For continued steps to correctly configure yum, see Section 7.2, “Configuring Yum on Broker Hosts”.

Procedure 7.2. To Configure Entitlements with Red Hat Network (RHN) Classic:

1. On your Red Hat Enterprise Linux instance, register the system. Replace username and password in the following command with your Red Hat Network account credentials.

   # rhnreg_ks --username username --password password

2. Enable only the Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 2.2 Infrastructure channel.

   # rhn-channel -a -c rhel-x86_64-server-6-ose-2.2-infrastructure

3. Confirm that yum repolist displays the enabled channel.

   # yum repolist
   
   repo id                                       repo name
   
   rhel-x86_64-server-6-ose-2.2-infrastructure   Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 2.2 Infrastructure - x86_64

   OpenShift Enterprise broker hosts require a customized yum configuration to install correctly. For continued steps to correctly configure yum, see Section 7.2, “Configuring Yum on Broker Hosts”.
