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 exam-
ple 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:
./install.pl --answer-file=/tmp/answers.txt
The RHN Satellite Server Installation Program then looks for answers in the file. For
any option no filled out in the file, the Installer Program prompts the user for the
missing information.
4.4. Sendmail Configuration
If your RHN Satellite Server will serve Monitoring-entitled systems and you wish to ac-
knowledge via email the alert notifications you receive, you must configure sendmail to
properly handle incoming mail. This is required by the email redirect feature, which allows
you to stop notifying users about a Monitoring-related event with a single reply.
Important
Some more restrictive corporate mail configurations will not allow mail to be sent from
an address that is not recognized as valid. Therefore, it may be necessary to configure
rogerthat01@{mail domain} as a valid email address in your corporate environ-
ment. Check with your mail systems administrator.
