Hub Requirements
To set up a Hub installation, you require:
-
One central Uyuni Server, which acts as the Hub Server.
-
One or more additional Uyuni Servers, registered to the Hub. This document refers to these additional servers as peripheral servers.
-
Any number of clients registered to the peripheral servers.
-
Ensure the Hub Server and all peripheral servers are running Uyuni 5.0 or higher.
1. Hub Server
Deploy the central Uyuni Server, which acts as the Hub Server, with mgradm
.
For more information about deploying with mgradm
, see Deploy Uyuni 2024.08 Server.
The Hub Server must not have clients registered to it. Clients should only be registered to the peripheral servers. |
2. Peripheral Servers
Deploy the peripheral servers with mgradm
.
For more information about deploying with mgradm
, see Deploy Uyuni 2024.08 Server.
Peripheral servers must be registered to the Hub Server as foreign clients.
Standard registration methods cannot be used.
Use mgradm
on the peripheral server host:
mgradm hub register --api-server <HUB_FQDN> --api-user <HUB_ADMIN> --api-password <HUB_ADMIN_PASSWORD>
The peripheral servers must be registered to the Hub Server directly, do not use a proxy.
Optionally, it is possible to register the podman container host as a standard client (Salt minion) and manage it from Uyuni Server.
You need credentials to access the XMLRPC APIs on each server, including the Hub Server.
