Great Explain this video

Thank you @ChanderSharma-hc9ed !!!

Nice, but it would be helpful if you could explain the instance type which you choose for configuration and swap space as well.. thans

[@waldirio]

Hello @srim-klimslim, about the sizing, you can refer to the installation guide, for instance, in 6.15, we have the ref of 4 core 2GHZ minimum, 20GiB RAM, and a minimum of 4GiB or Swap. If you are planning to use some cloud infra, you can check with type will be close to this minimal requirement to move on. Eventually, if your load is high, for instance, 40K Content Hosts (servers registered against your Satellite), you probably will bump those settings (CPU, memory and eventually swap). I hope this helps.

marvelous

Great video, thank you If you can made a tuto about Capsule it will be very helpful, thanks in advance

[@waldirio]

Hello @HamzaAineb, thank you! The capsule video is also in my backlog. Any specific point/request that you would like to see on the Capsule video? Thank you again!

[@HamzaAineb]

@@waldirio thanks for your quick response, I have already checked, but didn't find it. Thanks anyway for you effort, you are a great teacher

[@waldirio]

@@HamzaAineb Thank you!!! Yes, the video was not released yet, and if you have any specific point you would like to see, let me know!

Hi Waldoirio, the video was very informative , Thanks for sharing. I have configured Satellite 6.15, and everything was working fine, until today. While adding the host into my Satellite server, my SSL handshake failure occured. Any solutions will be appreciated.

[@waldirio]

Hello @user-pn1zc8zf1m, thank you!! About SSL handshake errors, I can think about a lot of things. If you have already a valid subscription, I would recommend you to open a support case, and feel free to add my name! 😉, if not, you can try this, on the client "yum clean all && subscription-manager unregister && subscription-manager clean", after that, try to register once again.

[@user-pn1zc8zf1m]

​@@waldirioThank you for your valuable time to respond, I tried with unregister & clean commands, didn't worked for me, support case had been generated. It will be a pleasure for me, if you mention your mail ID for work related queries.

[@waldirio]

@@user-pn1zc8zf1m just add my name in the case, and I'll be there ... like magic! 😉👍

[@davidchang5862]

Hi. Is there anyway to setup Satellite on a laptop with less than 4 cpus and 20gb ram for POC purpose ? Thanks

[@waldirio]

Hello @davidchang5862, if you are trying to do a POC, my answer should be no. The reason is, 20g and 4 vcpus will deliver you the best user experience, if you reduce cpu and/or memory, the performance will be worse, and your user experience will be terrible, creating a bad bias about the product. For a POC sake, I would create a vm with the minimal required, and then, will be only success! I hope this helps.

[@davidchang5862]

Oic. Guess I need to beef up my system resources. Anyway, thanks a lot for the advice :)

[@waldirio]

@@davidchang5862 No problem!

[@pursue_eternity]

Hi, you talk about using automated installation in prod. What sort of automated way of installation do you have? Kickstart/ansible? Could you share a general template without particular customer setup?

[@waldirio]

Hello @easternocean, sure, you can check this example, where you can find foreman and satellite installation using ansible + collections - github.com/waldirio/satellite_foreman_easy-installer This will give you some idea of how to proceed. Let me know if you have additional questions or concerns.

[@pursue_eternity]

@@waldirio Thanks for the reply. Yes, the playbook seems simple compared to what I have found elsewhere. will do testing soon. Also now that centos 7 is reaching EOL, many are adopting the convert2rhel, maybe your upcoming video/s provide a demo on using convert2rhel via satellite?

[@waldirio]

@@pursue_eternity yeap, already in the oven! 😉👍 Thank you!

Can any one guide me my satellite clients machine not receiving rhel7 repositories

Hello @shahidmehmood6718, you can login to the discord channel pinned on top of the comments, and share all of your questions over there! 😉👍

How can u import the manifest

[@waldirio]

Hey @hossamelalfy2387, do you already have your manifest? If yes, you can install satellite, and after up and running, access the webUI - Content - Subscriptions. On this page, you will see a button to import your manifest. Let me know if that works for you. 👍😉

[@hossamelalfy2387]

@@waldirio no I don't have , how can I export the manifest from customer portal of redhat ?

[@waldirio]

@@hossamelalfy2387 please, check this link - access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/subscription_central/1-latest/html-single/creating_and_managing_manifests_for_a_connected_satellite_server/index and feel free to open a support case, in case you are still facing problems.
