B.3. Red Hat Network Configuration Manager
Unlike the Red Hat Network Configuration Client, the Red Hat Network Configuration Manager (
rhncfg-manager) is designed to maintain RHN's central repository of config files and channels, not those located on client systems. This tool offers a command line alternative to the configuration management features within the RHN website, as well as the ability to script some or all of the related maintenance.
It is intended for use by Config Administrators and requires an RHN username and password that has the appropriate permission set. The username may be specified in
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhncfg-manager.conf or in the [rhncfg-manager] section of ~/.rhncfgrc.
When the Red Hat Network Configuration Manager is run as root, it attempts to pull in needed configuration values from the Red Hat Update Agent. When run as a user other than root, you may have to make configuration changes within the
~/.rhncfgrc file. The session file is cached in ~/.rhncfg-manager-session to prevent logging in for every command.
The default timeout for the Red Hat Network Configuration Manager is 30 minutes. To alter this, add the
server.session_lifetime option and new value to the /etc/rhn/rhn.conf file on the server running the manager, like so:
server.session_lifetime = 120
server.session_lifetime = 120
The Red Hat Network Configuration Manager offers these primary modes: add, create-channel, diff, diff-revisions, download-channel, get, list, list-channels, remove, remove-channel, revisions, update, and upload-channel.
Each mode offers its own set of options, which can be seen by issuing the following command:
rhncfg-manager mode --help
rhncfg-manager mode --help rhncfg-manager mode --help rhncfg-manager mode --help
Replace mode with the name of the mode to be inspected:
rhncfg-manager diff-revisions --help
rhncfg-manager diff-revisions --help
You can see such a list of options for the add mode at Table B.4, “
rhncfg-manager add options”.
B.3.1. Creating a Config Channel
复制链接链接已复制到粘贴板!
To create a config channel for your organization, issue the command:
rhncfg-manager create-channel channel-label
rhncfg-manager create-channel channel-label rhncfg-manager create-channel channel-label
If prompted for your RHN username and password, provide them. The output resembles the following:
Red Hat Network username: rhn-user Password: Creating config channel channel-label Config channel channel-label created
Red Hat Network username: rhn-user Password: Creating config channel channel-label Config channel channel-label created Red Hat Network username: rhn-user Password: Creating config channel channel-label Config channel channel-label created Red Hat Network username: rhn-user Password: Creating config channel channel-label Config channel channel-label created Red Hat Network username: rhn-user Password: Creating config channel channel-label Config channel channel-label created Red Hat Network username: rhn-user Password: Creating config channel channel-label Config channel channel-label created
Once you have created a config channel, use the remaining modes listed above to populate and maintain that channel.
B.3.2. Adding Files to a Config Channel
复制链接链接已复制到粘贴板!
To add a file to a config channel, specify the channel label as well as the local file to be uploaded, such as:
rhncfg-manager add --channel=channel-label /path/to/file
rhncfg-manager add --channel=channel-label /path/to/file rhncfg-manager add --channel=channel-label /path/to/file rhncfg-manager add --channel=channel-label /path/to/file rhncfg-manager add --channel=channel-label /path/to/file
In addition to the required channel label and the path to the file, you may use the available options for modifying the file during its addition. For instance, you may alter the path and file name by including the
--dest-file option in the command, like:
rhncfg-manager add --channel=channel-label--dest-file=/new/path/to/file.txt/path/to/file
rhncfg-manager add --channel=channel-label--dest-file=/new/path/to/file.txt/path/to/file rhncfg-manager add --channel=channel-label--dest-file=/new/path/to/file.txt/path/to/file rhncfg-manager add --channel=channel-label--dest-file=/new/path/to/file.txt/path/to/file rhncfg-manager add --channel=channel-label--dest-file=/new/path/to/file.txt/path/to/file
The output resembles the following:
Pushing to channel example-channel Local file >/path/to/file -> remote file /new/path/to/file.txt
Pushing to channel example-channel Local file >/path/to/file -> remote file /new/path/to/file.txt
The following table lists the options available for
rhncfg-manager add:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| -cCHANNEL --channel=CHANNEL | Upload files in this config channel |
| -dDEST_FILE --dest-file=DEST_FILE | Upload the file as this path |
| --delim-start=DELIM_START | Start delimiter for variable interpolation |
| --delim-end=DELIM_END | End delimiter for variable interpolation |
| -h, --help | show help message and exit |
Note
By default, the maximum file size for confiugration files is 128KB. If you need to change that value, find or create the following line in the
/etc/rhn/rhn.conf file:
web.maximum_config_file_size=128
web.maximum_config_file_size=128
Change the value from 128 to whatever limit you want in bytes.
B.3.3. Differentiating between Latest Config Files
复制链接链接已复制到粘贴板!
To view the differences between the config files on disk and the latest revisions in a channel, issue the command:
rhncfg-manager diff --channel=channel-label --dest-file=/path/to/file.txt \ /local/path/to/file
rhncfg-manager diff --channel=channel-label --dest-file=/path/to/file.txt \ /local/path/to/file rhncfg-manager diff --channel=channel-label --dest-file=/path/to/file.txt \ /local/path/to/file rhncfg-manager diff --channel=channel-label --dest-file=/path/to/file.txt \ /local/path/to/file rhncfg-manager diff --channel=channel-label --dest-file=/path/to/file.txt \ /local/path/to/file rhncfg-manager diff --channel=channel-label --dest-file=/path/to/file.txt \ /local/path/to/file rhncfg-manager diff --channel=channel-label --dest-file=/path/to/file.txt \ /local/path/to/file
You should see output resembling:
/tmp/dest_path/example-config.txt /home/test/blah/hello_world.txt --- /tmp/dest_path/example-config.txt config_channel: example-channel revision: 1 +++ /home/test/blah/hello_world.txt 2003-12-14 19:08:59.000000000 -0500 @@ -1 +1 @@ -foo +hello, world

B.3.4. Differentiating between Various Versions
复制链接链接已复制到粘贴板!
To compare different versions of a file across channels and revisions, use the
-r flag to indicate which revision of the file should be compared and the -n flag to identify the two channels to be checked. Refer to Section B.3.11, “Determining the Number of File Revisions” for related instructions. Specify only one file name here, since you are comparing the file against another version of itself. For example:
rhncfg-manager diff-revisions -n=channel-label1-r=1-n=channel-label2-r=1/path/to/file.txt
rhncfg-manager diff-revisions -n=channel-label1-r=1-n=channel-label2-r=1/path/to/file.txt rhncfg-manager diff-revisions -n=channel-label1-r=1-n=channel-label2-r=1/path/to/file.txt rhncfg-manager diff-revisions -n=channel-label1-r=1-n=channel-label2-r=1/path/to/file.txt rhncfg-manager diff-revisions -n=channel-label1-r=1-n=channel-label2-r=1/path/to/file.txt rhncfg-manager diff-revisions -n=channel-label1-r=1-n=channel-label2-r=1/path/to/file.txt rhncfg-manager diff-revisions -n=channel-label1-r=1-n=channel-label2-r=1/path/to/file.txt
