Installation

Public Cloud providers pre-install Uyuni, so you do not need to perform any installation steps. However, Uyuni Server needs to be registered with SUSE Customer Center to receive updates before you can sign in. For detailed instructions on registering Uyuni to SUSE Customer Center, see installation:server-setup.adoc.

When you have registered, all SUSE Linux Enterprise modules will be activated. You will also need to activate the Public Cloud module:

# SUSEConnect -p sle-module-public-cloud/15.1/x86_64

For more information on activating public clouds, see installation:pubcloud-setup.adoc.

A Uyuni administrator account is created by default. You need this account to access configuration settings in the public cloud provider interface. The username and password varies depending on your provider.

Table 1. Default Administrator Account Details
Provider Default Username Default Password

Amazon EC2

<instance-ID>

Google Compute Engine

<instance-ID>

Microsoft Azure

<instance-name>-suma

When you have logged in to the administrator account for the first time, change the default password to protect your account.

Add the required software products to your client, and schedule a repository synchronization.

Procedure: Adding the openSUSE Channels
  1. At the command prompt on the Uyuni Server, as root, install the spacewalk-utils package:

    zypper in spacewalk-utils
  2. Add the openSUSE channels.

    spacewalk-common-channels \
    opensuse_leap15_1 \
    opensuse_leap15_1-non-oss \
    opensuse_leap15_1-non-oss-updates \
    opensuse_leap15_1-updates \
    opensuse_leap15_1-uyuni-client
  3. Synchronize the new custom channels.

You need all the new channels fully synchronized before bootstrapping any openSUSE client. openSUSE channels can be very large. Synchronization can sometimes take several hours.

To synchronize, navigate to Software  Manage  Channels, and for each channel you created, click it and:

  1. Navigate to the Repositories tab.

  2. Navigate to the Sync sub-tab, and click Sync Now to begin synchronization immediately.

You can also schedule synchronization from this screen.

If you are using Ubuntu or Red Hat Enterprise Linux clients, you will need to set up custom repositories and channels. For more information, see client-configuration:non-suse-clients.adoc.
