The available pools are accessible by running the subscription-manager list --available command. 3. Run the following command to disable any existing repositories: # subscription-manager repos --disable "*" 4. To enable the repositories required to install Red Hat Storage Console, run the following command: # subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-rpms 5. Add the Red Hat Storage Console repository to the host system: # subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-rhscon-2- main-rpms 6. Add the Ceph installer repository to the host system: # subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-rhscon-2- installer-rpms 7. Import the GPG key by running the following command: 6 CHAPTER 3. INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING RED HAT STORAGE CONSOLE ON HOST SYSTEM # rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release 8. Install the Red Hat Storage Console packages: # yum install rhscon-core rhscon-ceph rhscon-ui After the Red Hat Storage Console Packages are successfully installed, the next step is to configure the Firewall. 3.2. FIREWALL CONFIGURATION 3.2.1. Configuring Red Hat Storage Console Server Ports Configure the firewall after the package installation of Red Hat Storage Console. The commands given in this section are to configure the firewall permanently. For the system to consider this, reload the firewall service by using the command firewall-cmd --reload, after executing all the port opening commands. For Skyring Service With Https and without Https: # firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=10443/tcp # firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=8080/tcp For Salt-Master Service # firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=4505-4506/tcp For Graphite-Web Access # firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=10080/tcp Data To Graphite Server # firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=2003/tcp Ceph Installer # firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=ceph-installer Note To configure the firewall for ceph-installer, ensure that the ceph-installer package is installed.
