Goal:
There's been a customer case https://access.redhat.com/support/cases/#/case/03737715 where the customer was using a network proxy and wanted to convert using Insights. We don't have it documented how to make it work so the support engineer closed the ticket as "not supported, sorry". There's a way though - adding two steps to the documentation should allow customers to use proxy and convert through Insights.
Acceptance Criteria:
- Two new steps are documented in the section about conversions using Insights (denoted here as [NEW])
- [NEW] On the CentOS Linux 7 host, configure yum to use an HTTP proxy as described in How to enable proxy settings for yum command on RHEL?
- Install the Red Hat client tools:
- Download the Red Hat GPG key:
# curl -o /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release https://www.redhat.com/security/data/fd431d51.txt - Install the client-tools repository file:
# curl -o /etc/yum.repos.d/client-tools.repo https://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/client-tools/client-tools-for-rhel-7-server.repo - Install the client tools packages:
# yum -y install subscription-manager subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates rhc rhc-worker-script insights-client
- Download the Red Hat GPG key:
- [NEW] Configure HTTP proxy for RHSM as described in How to configure HTTP Proxy for Red Hat Subscription Management
- Enable Remote Host Configuration, register your systems with Red Hat Subscription Manager (RHSM), and connect your systems with Red Hat Insights:
# rhc connect --activation-key <activation_key> --organization <organization_ID>
- The process is tested to make sure the steps are working and complete
