Registration Methods

There are several ways to register clients to your Uyuni Server.

For only a few clients, we recommend that you register clients using the Uyuni Web UI. For more information, see Register Clients with the Web UI.
If you want more control over the process, or have to register many clients, we recommend that you create a bootstrap script. For more information, see Register Clients with a Bootstrap Script.
For even more control over the process, executing a single commands on the command line can be useful. For more information, see Register Clients on the Command Line.

The client must have the date and time synchronized correctly with the Uyuni Server before registration.

You must create an activation key first, to use bootstrap script or command line method. For more information about creating activation keys, see Activation Keys.

Do not register the Uyuni Server to itself. The Uyuni Server must be managed individually or by using another separate Uyuni Server. For more information about using multiple servers, see Multiple Servers with Hub to Manage Large Scale Deployments.
