29
Option
Usage
--non-interactive
For use only with
--answer-file
. If the
--answer-
file
does not provide a required response, exit instead of
prompting the user.
--re-register
Register the system with RHN, even if it is already registered.
--disconnected
Install the satellite in disconnected mode.
--clear-db
Clear any pre-existing database schema before installing. This
will destroy any data in the Satellite database and re-create
empty Satellite schema.
--skip-system-version-test
Do not test the Red Hat Enterprise Linux version before
installing.
--skip-selinux-test
Do not check to make sure SELINUX is disabled. RHN
Satellite is not currently supported on selinux-enabled
systems.
--skip-fqdn-test
Do not verify that the system has a valid hostname. RHN
Satellite requires that the hostname be properly set during
installation. Using this option may result in a Satellite server
that is not fully functional.
--skip-db-install
Do not install the embedded database. This option may be
useful if you are reinstalling the satellite, and do not want to
clear the database.

Do not check to make sure there is enough free disk space to
install the embedded database.
--skip-db-population
Do not populate the database schema.

4.3. Automated RHN Satellite Server Installation
One option of the RHN Satellite Server Installation Program allows the user to reference an answer
file. This file contains pre-determined responses to all, or some, of the questions asked by the
installer program. This allows the installer to run without human interaction, and may be useful in
instances where Satellite deployment must be automated. An example answer file can be found in the
install/
directory of the CD or ISO, and is titled
answers.txt
.
Follow the steps below to perform an automated install with an answer file:
1. Follow steps 1 through 5 from
Section 4.2, “
RHN Satellite Server Installation Program
”
.
2. Copy the example
answers.txt
file to
/tmp/answers.txt
cp answers.txt /tmp/answers.txt
3. Edit the file and add your organization's desired options.
4. Once the answer file is ready, use the
--answer-file
option when starting the installation
process from the command line:
