Enabling and Disabling Fleet Patching and Provisioning Clients

On the Fleet Patching and Provisioning Server, you can enable or disable a Fleet Patching and Provisioning Client.

Fleet Patching and Provisioning Clients communicate with the Fleet Patching and Provisioning Server for all actions. You cannot run any RHPCTL commands without a connection to a Fleet Patching and Provisioning Server.

To enable or disable a Fleet Patching and Provisioning Client, run the following command from the Fleet Patching and Provisioning Server cluster:

$ rhpctl modify client -client client_name -enabled TRUE | FALSE

To enable a Fleet Patching and Provisioning Client, specify -enabled TRUE. Conversely, specify -enabled FALSE to disable the client. When you disable a Fleet Patching and Provisioning Client cluster, all RHPCTL commands from that client cluster will be rejected by the Fleet Patching and Provisioning Server, unless and until you re-enable the client.

Note:

Disabling a Fleet Patching and Provisioning Client cluster does not disable any existing working copies on the client cluster. The working copies will continue to function and any databases in those working copies will continue to run.
