红帽全球峰会8.7. Changing the Satellite Hostname
If you need to change the hostname or IP address of your Satellite server, the
satellite-utils package contains the satellite-hostname-rename script.
To use the
satellite-hostname-rename script, you must first ensure that you know your SSL CA passphrase by performing the following command:
openssl rsa -in path/RHN-ORG-PRIVATE-SSL-KEY
openssl rsa -in path/RHN-ORG-PRIVATE-SSL-KEY
Then enter passphrase when prompted.
satellite-hostname-rename requires one mandatory argument, which is the IP address of the Satellite server, regardless of whether the IP address will change along with the hostname or not.
The usage of
satellite-hostname-rename is as follows:
spacewalk-hostname-rename <ip address> [ --ssl-country=<country> --ssl-state=<state>\ --ssl-org=<organization/company> --ssl-orgunit=<department> --ssl-email=<email address> --ssl-ca-password=<password>]
spacewalk-hostname-rename <ip address> [ --ssl-country=<country> --ssl-state=<state>\
--ssl-org=<organization/company> --ssl-orgunit=<department> --ssl-email=<email address> --ssl-ca-password=<password>]
If there is a need to generate a new SSL certificate, all necessary information will be asked interactively via series of prompts, unless options are passed at the command-line (as in the above example). When the system hostname has not changed, the regeneration of a new SSL server certificate is not necessary. However, if at least one SSL option is specified, then
satellite-hostname-rename will generate a certificate.
