[RFE] Need additional supported database deployment options for Satellite 6 installation: such as External Postgres (and Managed Postgres?)
Last modified: 2018-10-16 11:27:09 EDT
The Foreman installer has an option to specify the remote database host where postgres (or others) live: --foreman-db-host we need this to also be used when configuring the database the Katello engine uses as well as Candlepin. This will allow us to support a database server that isn't the same machine as the Satellite 6 instance.
(In reply to Mike McCune from comment #0) > The Foreman installer has an option to specify the remote database host > where postgres (or others) live: > Hi Mike, just to clarify/follow up from IRC, is this BZ only for external Postgres DB - or Managed Postgres and External Oracle as well (i.e. all options currently offered as of Satellite 5.6 [1])? There's been questions from support about customers who're on Satellite 5.6 with external dbs (Postgres or Oracle) about how to transition while keeping their db setup. Thanks, Xixi [1] https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/5.6/html-single/Installation_Guide/index.html#sect-Installation_Guide-Hardware_Requirements

Please also do add gutterball to the list of DB's that need to have support to be on external DB's.
