satellite_storage

An Ansible role for configuring logical volumes and mount points for Red Hat Satellite Server(s) and Capsule(s). Of course, it's also compatible with Foreman and Katello.

Requirements

Ansible 2.8 or higher
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or CentOS 7
Valid Red Hat Subscriptions

Warning

This role doesn't pay attention if the mount points already exist or not, it will just blindly try to create them.

Role Variables

Currently the following variables are supported:

General

satellite_storage_become - Default: true. If this role needs administrator privileges, then use the Ansible become functionality (based off sudo).
satellite_storage_become_user - Default: root. If the role uses the become functionality for privilege escalation, then this is the name of the target user to change to.

Storage settings

See Satellite 6 Installation Guide - 1.2.1. Storage Requirements for details on sizing.

Parameter	Default	Description
`satellite_pvs`	`/dev/sdb`	Physical volume(s) to use for Satellite storage
`satellite_vg`	`satellite_vg`	Volume group to use or create for Satellite storage
