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 anorganization
. - 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.
-
install_katello_agent: if true, the
katello-agent
RPM will be installed. Defaults totrue
-
sensitive: if true, the execution of the registration command will be flagged as "sensitive," prohibiting the command, STDOUT, and STDERR from being displayed in the Chef log output. This command could contain usernames, passwords, and activation keys, so unlike other Chef resources, this defaults to
true
. However, you may set it tofalse
to get additional output if your registration attempts are failing. - force: if true, the system will be registered even if it is already registered. Normally, any register operations will fail if the machine is has already registered.
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
