# Overrides:

## General
* Set DIB_CLOUD_IMAGES to a URL for downloading base Red Hat Enterprise Linux cloud image.
* Set DIB_CLOUD_RELEASE to a use a non-default name for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux cloud image.

## Red Hat Subscription Manager (RHSM)

Certificate-based Red Hat Subscription Managment (RHSM) is the default registration type.

* Set DIB_RHSM_USER and DIB_RHSM_PASSWORD to register the system with RHSM during the image building process. This will apply the associated Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server subscription so the latest package updates can be applied. At the end of the image building process, the system will be unregistered from RHSM.
* Set DIB_RHSM_POOL to a subscription pool if you do not want the system to use the `--auto-attach` feature of `subscription-manager`.
* Set DIB_RHSM_REPOS to a space-separated list of Red Hat repositories to enable.

## Red Hat Network (RHN)

Set `DIB_REG_TYPE=rhn` for Red Hat Network (RHN classic) registration. The image building process will register the system to RHN and apply the associated Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server subscription so the latest package updates can be applied. At the end of the image building process, the system will be unregistered from RHN.

* For RHN username/password authentication set DIB_RHSM_USER and DIB_RHSM_PASSWORD. To use a Satellite server activation key set DIB_SAT_KEY. If adding RHN channels username and password must be set.
* When registering to Satellite set DIB_SAT_URL to the Satellite server URL and DIB_SAT_CERT_RPM_URL to the Satellite certificate.
* Set DIB_RHN_CHANNELS to a space-separated list of RHN channels to add. Example: `DIB_RHN_CHANNELS=rhel-x86_64-server-6 rhel-x86_64-server-6-rhscl-1`. RHN username/password is required for this.
Add support Red Hat Network (RHN) This provides basic support to register to the Red Hat Network (RHN Classic) for packages. The image is unregistered from RHN before completing image build. The rhnsd service is prevented from starting since it is not needed for packagage install. Change-Id: I2dc124cdc6ae59a63fd94d82d77108acccc3f668 2014-01-21 18:48:16 +00:00			`# Overrides:`

			`## General`
Add rhel installation element If you want to have the installation update packages, you'll need to register the system log in to rhn and subscribe to an available subscription. export DIB_RHSM_USER to your rhn username export DIB_RHSM_PASSWORD to your rhn password To get the qcow2 image, log into rhn.redhat.com and download the image from https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/channel/downloads/Download.do?cid=16952 Then export DIB_CLOUD_IMAGES to whereever you're hosting the qcow2.

			`## Red Hat Subscription Manager (RHSM)`

			`Certificate-based Red Hat Subscription Managment (RHSM) is the default registration type.`

			`* Set DIB_RHSM_USER and DIB_RHSM_PASSWORD to register the system with RHSM during the image building process.

Support list of Red Hat channels and repos When registering to RHN or RHSM a list of space-separated channels or repositories may be provided. This allows control over which packages are available to the system during build. Note, the optional channel or repository is added by default since diskimage-builder requires access to its packages. This list is for additional channels or repos.

Add support for Red Hat Satellite A Red Hat Satellite URL may be provided as the source for Red Hat packages. A Satellite key may be provided for a pre- defined set of RHN channels to be automatically applied. Support for installation of a Satellite certificate also provided.
