Appendix A. Using Entitlement Mode Simple Content Access (SCA) is now the default mode for subscription management. Should your CCSP account still use the old entitlement mode, take the following steps to make sure your RHUI nodes are subscribed correctly; otherwise, you would not be able to install RHUI RPM packages on them. A.1. Registering the RHUA node The following instructions explain how to register your Red Hat Update Appliance (RHUA) node. Prerequisites Latest version of RHEL 8 is installed. Ensure you have root access to the RHUA node. Procedure Optional: Enable all the required architectures. By default, only the architecture on which the RHUA node is running, for example, x86_64, will be available in the RHUI content listings. However, if you want to provide content to ARM64 virtual machines (VMs), in addition to x86_64 VMs, then you must enable the respective architecture. Note You must enable the required architectures before you register the RHUA node. If you have already registered the node, see Section 6.3, "Including required architectures on a registered and already installed RHUA node" . To enable architectures on an unregistered RHUA node, create a override.facts file and add the required architectures. On the RHUA node, enter the following command to register the system: Type your CCSP user name and password when prompted. Optional: If your system is already registered, you can override the subscription using the --force option. The new system will be available on the Red Hat Customer Portal, and the new RHUA instance will not have any subscriptions attached to it. Verification Navigate to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console . Verify that your system is available by locating it within the inventory. A.2. Registering the CDS node The following instructions explain how to register your Content Delivery Server (CDS) nodes. Note On the CDS nodes you do not need to use the --type=rhui flag that was required on the RHUA node. Prerequisites Latest version of RHEL 8 is installed. Ensure you have root access to each of the CDS nodes. Procedure On the CDS nodes, enter the following command: Type your CCSP user name and password when prompted. Optional: If your system is already registered, you can override the subscription using the --force option. The new system will be available on the Red Hat Customer Portal, and the new CDS instance will not have any subscriptions attached to it. Verification Navigate to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console . Verify that your system is available by locating it within the inventory. A.3. Registering the HAProxy node The following instructions explain how to register your HAProxy nodes. Note On the HAProxy node you do not need to use the --type=rhui flag that was required on the RHUA node. Prerequisites Latest version of RHEL 8 is installed. Ensure you have root access to the HAProxy nodes. Procedure On the HAProxy node, enter the following command: Type your CCSP user name and password when prompted. Optional: If your system is already registered, you can override the subscription using the --force option. The new system will be available on the Red Hat Customer Portal, and the new HAProxy instance will not have any subscriptions attached to it. Verification Navigate to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console . Verify that your system is available by locating it within the inventory. A.4. Attaching a subscription to the RHUA node The following instructions explain how to attach a subscription to your Red Hat Update Appliance (RHUA) node. Prerequisites Ensure you have root access to the RHUA node. Procedure On the RHUA node, check for available subscriptions that you can attach. Attach a subscription using its pool ID . For example, the following command attaches the Red Hat Update Infrastructure and RHEL Add-Ons for Providers subscription. A.5. Attaching a subscription to the CDS node The following instructions explain how to attach a subscription to your content delivery server (CDS) node. Prerequisites Ensure you have root access to the CDS node. Procedure On the CDS node, check for available subscriptions that you can attach. Attach a subscription using its pool ID . A.6. Attaching a subscription to the HAProxy node The following instructions explain how to attach a subscription to your HAProxy node. Prerequisites Ensure you have root access to the HAProxy node. Procedure On the HAProxy node, check for available subscriptions that you can attach. Attach a subscription using its pool ID . A.7. Enabling the required repositories on the RHUA node To install RHUI on your system, you must first enable certain repositories on your nodes which contain the required packages. The following instructions explain how to enable the rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rhui-rpms and rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rhui-rpms repositories on the RHUA node. If you are planning to use Ceph File System (CephFS) as your shared storage, you must also enable the rhceph-5-tools-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rhui-rpms repository. Note RHUA nodes require RHEL installations with base packages, and with all repositories disabled except for the rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rhui-rpms , rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rhui-rpms , and, optionally, rhceph-5-tools-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rhui-rpms repositories. This requirement means that you cannot install any third-party configurations or software that are not necessary for the direct operation of the server. This restriction includes hardening or other non-Red Hat security software. Prerequisites Ensure you have root access to the RHUA node. Procedure Navigate to the RHUA node, list the enabled repositories, and verify that your system is correctly subscribed. Disable all repositories. Enable the relevant repositories. Optional: If you are planning to use CephFS, enable the Ceph tools repository. Enable the RHUI 4 repository. A.8. Enabling the required repositories on the CDS node To install RHUI on your system, you must first enable certain repositories on your nodes which contain the required packages. The following instructions explain how to enable the rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms and rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms repositories on the CDS node. If you are planning to use Ceph File System (CephFS) as your shared storage, then you must also enable the rhceph-5-tools-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms repository. Note CDS nodes require RHEL installations with base packages and with all repositories disabled except for the rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms , rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms , and, optionally, rhceph-5-tools-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms repositories. This requirement means that you cannot install any third-party configurations or softwares that are not necessary for the direct operation of the server. This restriction includes hardening or other non-Red Hat security software. Prerequisites Ensure that you have root access to all the CDS nodes you plan to use. Procedure Navigate to a CDS node, list the enabled repositories, and verify that your system is correctly subscribed. Disable all repositories. Enable the relevant repositories. Optional: If you are planning to use CephFS, enable the Ceph tools repository. Repeat the steps on all the CDS nodes you plan to use. Verification List the enabled repositories and verify whether the relevant repositories appear on the list. A.9. Enabling the required repositories on the HAProxy node To install RHUI on your system, you must first enable certain repositories on your nodes which contain the required packages. The following instructions explain how to enable the rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms and rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms repositories on the HAProxy node. Prerequisites Ensure you have root access to the HAProxy node. Procedure Navigate to a HAProxy node, list the enabled repositories, and verify that your system is correctly subscribed. Disable all repositories. Enable the relevant repositories. Verification List the enabled repositories and verify whether the relevant repositories appear on the list. Having followed these procedures, continue reading at Chapter 9, Generating a cryptographic key pair .
