Description Eric Nothen 2013-12-03 18:14:10 UTC
Title: Configuring a Satellite Node

Describe the issue:
Section "6.2. Configuring a Satellite Node", step #5, Options 1, 2 and 3 read "Run the following commands as the root user on the Satellite server". 

Suggestions for improvement:
Shouldn't that be run on the Satellite node instead? I followed the document the first time, and run the node-install command on the Satellite server, but it complains that "the pulp node can't be installed on a machine with Katello master". Running it on the actual node being configured works fine, but I first had to construct SATELLITE_6 and OAUTH_SECRET, since the node being configured doesn't have the file /etc/katello/oauth_token-file.

Additional information:

Hi Eric,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will make the amendment with the next doc update.

An additional alternate interpretation:

Option 3 in the MDS-2 document, section 6.2 gives a CLI example for an all-in-one (with the node on the Sat6/Forman server).  This example indicates to include pulp in the node-install.  The setup command seems to work on the Satellite host if the node-install arguments for pulp are left off:

sudo node-install -v   --parent-fqdn "${SATELLITE_6}"   \
  --dns true --dns-interface eth0 --dns-zone sat6.example.com \
  --dns-forwarders 192.168.1.1 --dns-forwarders 192.168.1.2 \
  --dhcp true --dhcp-interface eth0 \
  --tftp true --tftp-servername ${SATELLITE_6} \
  --puppet true --puppetca true   \
  --register-in-foreman true --foreman-oauth-secret "${OAUTH_SECRET}" \
  --pulp false
