Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Andrew Dahms 2018-07-02 23:49:57 UTC 
Red Hat Satellite 6.4 adds the ability to assign Ansible roles to hosts. A procedure outlining how to do so along with why this is important to users must be added to the documentation.
Comment 2 Andrew Dahms 2018-07-06 04:08:15 UTC 
Assigning to Melanie for review.
Comment 3 Andrew Dahms 2018-07-06 04:21:15 UTC 
Melanie - this addresses the basic procedures covered in the following section of the upstream documentation -

https://www.theforeman.org/plugins/foreman_ansible/2.x/index.html#4.2Selectingrolesforahost

During the last Satellite docs meeting, we discussed that the content on Ansible integration should fall into two locations -

* Administering Red Hat Satellite - setting up Ansible integration
* Managing Hosts - doing things with Ansible integration

Right now, we have a chapter on Ansible integration in Managing Hosts, which covers how to set up callbacks. Clifton also has a bug on importing roles, which is the first step in the new integration, and I will work with him on that.

What I propose we do here is create a new chapter in Administering Red Hat Satellite to cover the configuration side, and put the content for this bug and BZ#1597448 in there for now. We can move the other configuration-related content there as soon as Clifton is done with his work so that we have a chapter that covers everything from callbacks up to assigning roles.

I recognize it will be a bit messy for now, but this approach should help us make a start on the content we can make a start on without running into any merge conflicts, and I will raise bugs to both move the content over and review the section as a whole when it is in place.

Hi Andrew, 

Can you link to the bug that is assigned to Clifton that you are referring to please? Thank you.

As I work on this, I wonder does this content best fit in the Managing Hosts guide as these roles must be assigned directly to the hosts. 

It will become clear as more of these procedures are complete.
