2.4. Configuring Red Hat Satellite with an Answer File

Procedure 2.6. Configuration Using an Answer File

1. Copy the default answer file located at /etc/katello-installer/answers.katello-installer.yaml to a location on your local filesystem:

   # cp /etc/katello-installer/answers.katello-installer.yaml /etc/katello-installer/my-answer-file.yaml

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   Note

   The initial answer file will be sparsely populated. However, once katello-installer is run for the first time, the answer file is populated with the standard parameter values for installation.
2. Open your copy of the answer file in your preferred text editor and edit the values to suit your environment. Save your answer file once you have finished editing it.

   Note

   The parameters for each module are specified in the module's params.pp file. Available modules with parameter files can be viewed by executing the command:

   # rpm -ql katello-installer | grep params.pp

   :answer_file: /etc/katello-installer/my-answerfile.yaml

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
4. Run the katello-installer command.

   # katello-installer
