Unlike the other screens, this is accessed from the CDS Screen, not the Home screen. When choosing to go to this screen, the user is prompted to select one CDS (as compared to many other portions of the UI that allow multi-select). r manage repositories hosted on a CDS instance Select the CDS instance to manage repositories: 1 - US East Region CDS Enter value from (1-1) or 'b' to abort: 1 Menu: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -= Red Hat Update Infrastructure Management Tool =- -= CDS Repositories Management - US East Region CDS =- l list repositories deployed on this CDS a deploy (add) a repository to this CDS d undeploy (delete) a repository from this CDS Connected: guardian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ rhui (US East Region CDS) => Also unlike other screens, the value in the ( ) in the prompt doesn't specify the screen name but rather the CDS being manipulated.
Associate Repositories a deploy (add) a repository to this CDS Configured which repositories will be hosted by the currently selected CDS. The contents of the newly added repositories are not immediately sent to the CDS. The will be sent the next time the repo is synchronized, either from the recurring scheduled sync or by manually triggering one. Repos can be deployed in two granularities: - All in RHUI - Pretty self explanatory, all repositories in the RHUI will be hosted by the CDS instance. - By Repository - Allows the user to select one or more repositories to be deployed, allowing finer control over which CDS instance hosts which repositories. Only currently undeployed repositories are displayed. If all of the repositories are already associated to the CDS, the user is informed of this fact and nothing else occurs. Sample: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ rhui (US East Region CDS) => a Deploy Repositories: 1 - All in RHUI 2 - By Repository Enter value from (1-2) or 'b' to abort: 2 Select the repositories to be deployed to the CDS (only undeployed products are displayed): Custom Repositories - 1 : Custom Repository 1 Red Hat Repositories - 2 : Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-i386) - 3 : Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-x86_64) Enter value from (1-3) to toggle selection, 'c' to confirm selections, or '?' for more commands: 1-3 Select the repositories to be deployed to the CDS (only undeployed products are displayed): Custom Repositories x 1 : Custom Repository 1 Red Hat Repositories x 2 : Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-i386) x 3 : Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-x86_64) Enter value from (1-3) to toggle selection, 'c' to confirm selections, or '?' for more commands: c Custom Repositories Custom Repository 1 Red Hat Repositories Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-i386) Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-x86_64) Proceed? (y/n) Already associated all repos: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ rhui (US East Region CDS) => a All repositories are deployed to CDS US East Region CDS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ rhui (US East Region CDS) =>
I missed the tail end of my first sample in associate. After selecting 'y' for proceed: Proceed? (y/n) y Associating repository Custom Repository 1... Associating repository Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-i386)... Associating repository Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-x86_64)... Content will not be downloaded to the CDS until the next sync is run. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ rhui (US East Region CDS) => a
Unassociate a Repo d undeploy (delete) a repository from this CDS Very similar to associate in the sense that the changes are not made on the CDS itself until a sync is run. The user selects one or more repos from the currently associated repos and confirms the delete. Sample: rhui (US East Region CDS) => d Select one or more repositories to undeploy from the CDS: Custom Repositories - 1 : Custom Repository 1 Red Hat Repositories - 2 : Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-i386) - 3 : Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-x86_64) Enter value from (1-3) to toggle selection, 'c' to confirm selections, or '?' for more commands: 2-3 Select one or more repositories to undeploy from the CDS: Custom Repositories - 1 : Custom Repository 1 Red Hat Repositories x 2 : Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-i386) x 3 : Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-x86_64) Enter value from (1-3) to toggle selection, 'c' to confirm selections, or '?' for more commands: c The following repositories will be undeployed from the CDS: Red Hat Repositories Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-i386) Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-x86_64) Proceed? (y/n) y Unassociating repository Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-i386)... Unassociating repository Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-x86_64)... Content will not be deleted from the CDS until the next sync is run. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ rhui (US East Region CDS) =>
List Repositories l list repositories deployed on this CDS Displays all associated repos. Sample: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ rhui (US East Region CDS) => / rhui (US East Region CDS) => l -= CDS Repositories =- Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-i386) Red Hat Update Infrastructure 1.2 (RPMs) (5Server-x86_64) Custom Repository 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ rhui (US East Region CDS) => No repos associated: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ rhui (US East Region CDS) => l -= CDS Repositories =- No repositories have been associated with CDS US East Region CDS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ rhui (US East Region CDS) =>
Just to be clear on terminology, I tend to use the following interchangably: Associate = Add = Deploy - Maps a repo to a CDS. Unassociate = Remove = Undeploy - Removes the mapping of a repo and CDS. Sorry for jumping around on terms in this BZ.
