Hi there ✋!
We can use this ansible role to perform bulk registration to Red Hat Satellite/Capsule server by passing the hostname/IP list in inventory file.
To execute this role successfully, we need to pass below variable values. First, we need to ensure that either we want to use root user or non-root user on client system side.
Variables are:
ansible_ssh_user: Enter ssh username (Present on client system)
ansible_ssh_pass: Enter ssh password to take the ssh
Hostname: Enter Red Hat Satellite/Capsule server hostname
Activation_Key: Enter Activation Key Name
Organization_Name: Enter Organization Name (In which you want to register host on satellite server)
There are three ways to perform bulk host registration to Red Hat Satellite/Capsule server using bulk-registration ansible role.
-
🌏 We can define these variable values either globally(For all hosts) in "vars/main.yml" file.
-
🖥️ If we want to pass the variable values for per host in inventory file, syntax should be as below in inventory file.
[host_list]
client.example.com ansible_ssh_user=SSH_USERNAME ansible_ssh_pass=SSH_PASSWORD Hostname=SATELLITE/CAPSULE_FQDN Activation_Key=KEY_NAME Organization_Name=ORG_NAME
If all hosts in a group share a variable value, we can apply that variable to an entire group at once.
[host_list]
client1.example.com
client2.example.com
[host_list:vars]
ansible_ssh_user=SSH_USERNAME
ansible_ssh_pass=SSH_PASSWORD
Hostname=SATELLITE/CAPSULE_FQDN
Activation_Key=KEY_NAME
Organization_Name=ORG_NAME
- 👨💻 If we want to pass the variable values at the same moment of ansible role execution, we can use below ansible playbook.
- hosts: all
gather_facts: no
vars_prompt:
- name: ansible_ssh_user
prompt: Enter ssh username (Present on client system)
private: no
- name: ansible_ssh_pass
prompt: Enter ssh password to take the ssh
private: no
- name: Hostname
prompt: Enter Red Hat Satellite/Capsule server hostname
private: no
- name: Activation_Key
prompt: Enter Activation Key Name
private: no
- name: Organization_Name
prompt: Enter Organization Name (In which you want to register host on satellite server)
private: no
roles:
- bulk_registration
