Role to install and do basic configuration of Red Hat Satellite 6.X.

This playbook will take a while to run depending the number of repositories to sync.

You will need ansible and all the required subscriptions for RHEL 7 and Satellite 6. Also please use some role for set NTP on your server. We recommend you use ansible-galaxy and install role for NTP bennojoy.ntp like we do.

All variables are in files located in ./vars and are imported with specifics tasks. But to be open for others we decided specify only related variables there and all mandatory variables you have to specify in playbook vars or pass in extra vars parameter.

You can check default vars located in ./defaults/main.yml, where we specify these variables you have to specify in your var file and overwrite them, otherwise this role won't work properly.

There is no role dependency for this role.

The example of inventory file for this role is in hosts.target.

• To run the playbook first you need to create and download the manifest:

Go to http://rhn.redhat.com.

• Click "Satellite"
• Click "Register a Satellite"
• Set a Name, select a version and Click "Register" After this we are going to attach a subscription.
• Click "Attach Subscription" and select the subscription to attach and click "Attach Selected" After this we will download the manifest.
• Click "Download manifest" After this copy the download file inside the /files directory on the role and name it "satellite_manifest.zip"

** Then create the variable file in vars/your_name.yml in your playbook and set all mandatory variables for role. You can inspire in vars/example-vars.yml. And include this variable file in playbook as variable_files:

You can see example of playbook in playbook_example/config.yml

• Run the playbook, see README of example playbook
