rhpctl add series

Adds a series to the Fleet Patching and Provisioning Server configuration.

Syntax

rhpctl add series -series series_name [-image image_name]

rhpctl delete series

Deletes a series from the Fleet Patching and Provisioning Server configuration.

Syntax

rhpctl delete series -series series_name [-force]

Usage Notes

Specify the name of the series that you want to delete.
Use -force to delete an image series even if the series includes images.
Before deleting an image series, you must first remove all images from the series by using the rhpctl deleteimage series command.
This command does not delete images, only series.

Example

The following example deletes a series called PRODDBSERIES:

$ rhpctl delete series -series PRODDBSERIES

rhpctl deleteimage series

Deletes an image from a series.

Syntax

rhpctl deleteimage series -series series_name -image image_name

Parameters

Table A-52 rhpctl deleteimage series Command Parameters

Parameter	Description
`-series series_name`	Specify the name of the series from which you want to delete an image.
`-image image_name`	Specify the name of the image that you want to delete from a series.

Example

The following command deletes an image called PRODIMAGEV0 from a series called PRODDBSERIES:

$ rhpctl deleteimage series -series PRODDBSERIES -image PRODIMAGEV0

rhpctl insertimage series

Inserts an existing image into a series.

Note:

A single image can belong to one or more series.

Syntax

rhpctl insertimage series -series series_name -image image_name
   [-before image_name]

Parameters

Table A-53 rhpctl insertimage series Command Parameters

Parameter	Description
`-series series_name`	Specify the name of the series into which you want to insert an image.
`-image image_name`	Specify the name of the image that you want to insert into a series.
`-before image_name`	Optionally, you can specify the name of an image before which you want to insert the new image.

Example

To insert an image into a series:

rhpctl insertimage series -series DB12_series -image DB12102_PSU

rhpctl query series

Displays the configuration of a series.

Syntax

rhpctl query series [-series series_name | -image image_name]
  [-server server_cluster_name] [-rhpserver rhps_regex]

Parameters

Table A-54 rhpctl query series Command Parameters

Parameter	Description
`-series series_name`	Specify the name of the series for which you want to display the configuration.
`-image image_name`	Alternatively, you can specify the name of a configured image.
`-server server_cluster_name`	Specify the name of the server cluster to which the image corresponds.
`-rhpserver rhps_regex`	Specify a regular expression to match the cluster name of the servers where the operation must be executed.

Usage Notes

If you do not specify a series or an image by name, then CRSCTL returns information for all series.

The -rhpserver parameter indicates where the operation should be executed and -server indicates who the operation should be about. When -rhpserver is used, the command is executed on the servers whose name matches the regular expression provided. When -server is used, the command will be about the server provided. For example:

The following command executes locally and lists the series that have been replicated to peerA
```
rhpctl query series -server peerA
```
The following command executes on peerA and lists the series have been configured on peerA
```
rhpctl query series -rhpserver peerA 
```
The following command executes on all servers and lists the series that each server has replicated on peerA
```
rhpctl query series -server peerA -rhpserver .+' 
```

When issuing a command for a peer server using the -rhpserver option, the user running the command must be an existing user of the peer server and the user must have a required role. To enable a user from a peer server to run commands on the local server, run the rhpctl grant role command to grant a required role to the peer server user and to specify the cluster name of the peer server to which the user belongs. For example:

$ rhpctl grant role -role role_name -user user_name -client cluster_name

To add multiple users, run the following command:

$ rhpctl grant role -client cluster_name -maproles role=user_name[+user_name...][,role=user_name[+user_name...]...]

For information about granting roles with RHPCTL, refer to rhpctl grant role

Example

This command returns output similar to the following:

$ rhpctl query series

Image series: DB12_series
Image series: GRID_series
Image series: DB112_series

rhpctl subscribe series

Subscribes a specific user to an image series.

Syntax
