How to register a salt client with a bootstrap script in SUMA 3.1

• Create a bootstrap script for salt:

# mgr-bootstrap

• List available repos for bootstrapping systems:

# mgr-create-bootstrap-repo -l

• Create the necessary bootstrap repos. For example:

# mgr-create-bootstrap-repo -c SLE-11-SP3-x86_64
# mgr-create-bootstrap-repo -c SLE-12-SP2-x86_64
# mgr-create-bootstrap-repo -c SLE-11-SP4-x86_64

• Edit the needed bootstrap script to add the activation key:

# cd /srv/www/htdocs/pub/bootstrap
# cp bootstrap.sh bootstrap-salt-sles11sp3.sh
# vi bootstrap-salt-sles11sp3.sh

• Edit the line ACTIVATION_KEYS and add the key, for example:

ACTIVATION_KEYS=1-SLES11SP3-x86_64

or

# MY_ACTIVATION_KEY=1-SLES11SP3-x86_64
# sed -i.old 's/\(ACTIVATION_KEYS=\)/\1${MY_ACTIVATION_KEY}/g' bootstrap-salt-sles11sp3.sh

• Register the system executing the following command from the SUMA3 server:

# cat bootstrap-salt-sles11sp3.sh | ssh root@sles11sp3.suse.ar /bin/bash

Where sles11sp3.suse.ar is the target system.

• On Board the client from SUMA -> Salt -> Onboarding in SUMA’s web UI.
