redhat_subscription_manager cookbook

The Red Hat Subscription Manager (RHSM) cookbook provides custom resources
for use in recipes to interact with RHSM or a locally-installed Red Hat
Satellite. These resources allow you to configure your hosts' registration
status, repo status, and installation of errata.

Scope

This cookbook focuses on Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts with support for
the subscription-manager tool and the new style of registration and
subscription management. It does not support the former rhn_register or
spacewalk-channel method of channel registration.

Requirements

  • Chef 12.0.0 or higher
  • Outbound internet access (if not using a locally-accessible Satellite)
  • Outbound access to the Satellite host (if using a Satellite)
  • Valid Red Hat entitlements/subscriptions

Usage

Place a dependency on the redhat_subscription_manager cookbook in your
cookbook's metadata.rb:

depends 'redhat_subscription_manager', '~> 0.1'

Then, in a recipe:

rhsm_register 'myhost' do
  activation_key 'mykey1234'
  satellite_host 'satellite.mycompany.com'
  action :register
end

Resources

rhsm_register

The rhsm_register resource performs the necessary tasks to register your host
with RHSM or your local Satellite server.

Actions

  • :register: (default) registers your host
  • :unregister: unregisters your host

Parameters

  • activation_key: string of the activation key to use when registering, or an array of keys if multiple keys are needed. When using activation_key, you must supply an organization.
  • satellite_host: (optional) FQDN of the Satellite host to register with. If not specified, the host will be registered with Red Hat's public RHSM service.
  • organization: organization to use when registering, required when using an activation key
  • username: username to use when registering. Not applicable if using an activation key. If specified, password and environment are also required.
  • password: password to use when registering. Not applicable if using an activation key. If specified, username and environment are also required.
  • environment: environment to use when registering, required when using username and password
  • auto_attach: if true, RHSM will attempt to automatically attach the host to applicable subscriptions. It is generally better to use an activation key with the subscriptions pre-defined.

Examples

rhsm_register 'myhost' do
  satellite_host 'satellite.mycompany.com'
  activation_key [ 'key1', 'key2' ]
end

rhsm_register 'myhost' do
  username 'myuser'
  password 'mypassword'
  environment 'myenvironment'
  auto_attach true
end

rhsm_register 'myhost' do
  action :unregister
end

rhsm_subscription

The rhsm_subscription resource will add another subscription to your host.
This can be used when a host's activation_key does not attach all necessary
subscriptions to your host.

Actions

  • :attach: (default) attach a new subscription
  • :remove: remove an existing Subscription

Parameters

None. The name passed in to the resource will be the pool ID to use when
attaching/removing.

Examples

rhsm_subscription 'pool123' do
  action :attach
end

rhsm_subscription 'pool321' do
  action :remove
end

rhsm_repo

The rhsm_repo resource enabled and disables repositories that are made
available via attached subscriptions.

Actions

  • :enable: (default) enable a repo
  • :disable: disable a repo

Parameters

None. The name passed in to the resource will be the repository name to use
when enabling/disabling.

Examples

rhsm_repo 'rhel-7-myrepo' do
  action :enable
end

rhsm_repo 'rhel-7-oldrepo' do
  action :disable
end

rhsm_errata

The rhsm_errata resource will ensure packages associated with a given Errata
ID are installed. This is helpful if packages to mitigate a single vulnerability
must be installed on your hosts.

Actions

  • :install: (default) install all packages for a given erratum

Parameters

None. The name passed in to the resource will be the Errata ID to use when
installing packages.

Examples

rhsm_errata 'RHSA:2015-1234'

rhsm_errata 'RHSA:2015-4321' do
  action :install
end

rhsm_errata_level

The rhsm_errata_level resource will install all packages for all errata
of a certain security level. For example, you can ensure that all packages
associated with errata marked at a "Critical" security level are installed.

Actions

  • :install: (default) install all packages for all errata of a certain security level

Parameters

None. The name passed in to the resource will be the security level to use when
installing packages.

Valid security levels are: critical, moderate, important, and low. While yum
is case sensitive, the values expected by this cookbook are not.

Examples

rhsm_errata_level 'critical'

rhsm_errata_level 'IMPORTANT' do
  action :install
end
