rhn-channels cookbook
Manages RHN channel subscription using provided LWRP. This cookbook
does not manage the RHN registration itself. Please use the
rhn cookbook for that.
Usage
This cookbook provides the Chef LWRP rhn_channel for managing
subscriptions to satellite server channels in addition to the ones
that are subscribed by default.
Example for adding the supplementary channel for EL5 and EL6.
Older versions of RHEL require the username and password in order
to subscribe an instance to a new channel. This example uses the
chef-vault cookbook which is suggested to manage your secrets.
bag = chef_vault_item('secrets', 'rhn') rhn_channel node['rhn-channels']['supplementary'] do username bag['rhn_username'] password bag['rhn_password'] end
Example for adding supplementary channel for EL7.
Because the subscription manager handles credentials it is much,
much simpler to subscribe to a channel. There is a different
provider that manages the EL7 channel registration.
ruby
rhn_channel node['rhn-channels']['supplementary']
It is important to note that the correct provider will be used
for the platform. Even if username and password credentials are
stored and passed in they will be ignored in EL7.
Removing channels
As you would expect removing a channel is simply a different
action on the resource. For anything prior to EL7 the credentials
must be supplied. This example will work for all versions of RHEL
as long as the optional attribute is defined.
ruby
bag = chef_vault_item('secrets', 'rhn')
rhn_channel node['rhn-channels']['optional'] do
username bag['rhn_username']
password bag['rhn_password']
end
