Chapter 10. Working with RHUI 4 commands


Red Hat Update Infrastructure provides a powerful, scriptable interface to manage the RHUI nodes, repositories, and client configurations.

10.1. Using RHUI 4 CLI options

The majority of administrative tasks for Red Hat Update Infrastructure 4 are in its installation. After installation, it runs on its own, periodically getting updated packages from the Red Hat CDN and automatically making those packages available to clients.

A command line interface called Red Hat Update Infrastructure Management Tool (run with rhui-manager) facilitates the installation. This tool provides interactive prompts for the necessary configuration elements for each RHUI component: RHUA, CDS, and load-balancer. This tool also provides a means for taking the content certificate provided by Red Hat for use when connecting to the Red Hat CDN and generating internal, cloud-specific certificates that clients use to connect to RHUI. The Red Hat Update Infrastructure Management Tool allows the cloud provider to generate a client configuration bundle to install on client RHEL instances. This bundle allows the clients to get updates from the RHUI installation.

Red Hat Update Infrastructure Management Tool uses an interactive shell; some functions can also run from a shell prompt. The Red Hat Update Infrastructure Management Tool uses seven main commands. For each command’s subcommand, a list of options is provided if the subcommand expects one or more options other than -h and --help.

View all options and commands.
