Ansible Role: RHSM

GitHub Ansible Ansible

This role will register or unregister a system using subscription-manager, and can also enable or disable repositories available via subscription.

Requirements

Ansible 2.4 or higher

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or equivalent

Valid Red Hat Subscriptions

Role Variables

Currently the following variables are supported:

Subscription Management

Vars in this section directly correspond to the args available to the redhat_subscription module.

rhsm_username - access.redhat.com or Satellite (RHSM Provider) username
rhsm_password - access.redhat.com or Satellite (RHSM Provider) password
rhsm_org_id - RHSM Provider organization ID
rhsm_activationkey - RHSM Provider activation key
rhsm_server_hostname - hostname for alternate RHSM provider
rhsm_server_insecure - disable certificate verification when connecting to RHSM Provider (bool, default false)
rhsm_baseurl - Alternate base URL of package repositories if not using Red Hat CDN
rhsm_server_proxy_hostname - HTTP proxy hostname
rhsm_server_proxy_port - HTTP proxy port
rhsm_server_proxy_user - HTTP proxy username
rhsm_server_proxy_password - HTTP proxy password
rhsm_auto_attach - automatically consume from available subscriptions if registration succeeds (bool, default false, requires ansible >= 2.5)
rhsm_environment - Register with a specific environment in the destination org. (Used with Red Hat Satellite 6 or Katello)
rhsm_pool - Specific pool name to consume (regex can be used as input). Use rhsm_pool_ids when possible as it is much faster. Mutually exclusive with rhsm_pool_ids
rhsm_pool_ids - List of pool IDs to consume, or a list of dicts with pool IDs as keys and quantity of entitlements to consume as values. Mutually exclusive with rhsm_pool
rhsm_consumer_type - The type of unit to register (defaults to "system")
rhsm_consumer_name - Name of the system to register (defaults to system hostname)
rhsm_consumer_id - Existing consumer ID to resume a previous registration
rhsm_force_register - Register the system even if it is already registered (bool, default false)
rhsm_unregister - Unregister a system if true. The system will be unregistered. System registration will not be attempted (bool, default false)

Repository Management

Note:

Using variables related to repository management may result in the role reporting a failure if the system is not registered. Subscription tasks are run before repository management tasks to facilitate registration state before processing these variables.

rhsm_release - Set which operating system release version to use. Remember to quote this for release versions that look like floats to the YAML parser, e.g. set the value to something like "7.4", not 7.4. Values like 6Server and 7Server do not need to be quoted.
rhsm_release_unset - Unset which operating system release version to use (bool, default false)
rhsm_repositories - Specifies which repositories to enable/disable, details below

To enable/disable specific repositories:

rhsm_repositories:
  enabled:
    - enabled-repository
  disabled:
    - disabled-repository

The list of repositories in disabled is processed before enabled.

To enable only specific repositoryies and disable all others:

rhsm_repositories:
  only:
    - enabled-repository-1
    - enabled-repository-2

Using only is an idempotence-friendly version of the following:

rhsm_repositories:
  disabled:
    - "*"
  enabled:
    - enabled-repository-1
    - enabled-repository-2

Note that globbing in repository names is supported. Use of only is mutually exclusive with the use of enabled and disabled, and the use of only takes precedence.

To set a specific minor version of RHEL repositories to use:

rhsm_release: "7.1"

To default to the latest available minor version of repositories:

rhsm_release_unset: true

Role Output

DEPRECATION WARNING Role outputs are deprecated, no longer supported, and will be removed in a future version of this role.

oasis_role_rhsm

The oasis_role_rhsm fact will be set by this role, containing the following outputs:

subscribed - Whether or not the system is registered. (bool)
subscribed_pool_ids - A list of pool IDs current attached to the system. Will be an empty list if no pools are attached, or if the system is not currently registered.

Dependencies

Requires a system that supports the installation and usage of subscription-manager, e.g. Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Privilege escalation (sudo) is required for this role to function.

Example Playbooks

This example registers a system with a username and password, auto-attaches, enables three RHEL 7 repositories, and explictly sets the repository release version of enabled repositories to "7Server".

- hosts: rhsm-servers
  roles:
    - role: rhsm
  vars:
    rhsm_username: your_username
    rhsm_password: your_password
    rhsm_auto_attach: true
    rhsm_repositories:
      only:
        - rhel-7-server-rpms
        - rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
        - rhel-7-server-extras-rpms
    rhsm_release: 7Server

This example registers a system to Red Hat Satellite 6 using an organization ID and activation key, and attaches to a specific pool by ID.

- hosts: rhsm-servers
  roles:
    - role: rhsm
  vars:
    rhsm_org_id: your_organization_id
    rhsm_activitionkey: activation_key
    rhsm_pool_ids:
      - poolid
    rhsm_server_hostname: your.satellite6.hostname
