aweiteka ce14214a7a 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.

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.
  • 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.
