[Pulp-list] pulp-consumer

[Salvatore Di Nardo]

Hello,
could someone explain me one thing about pulp-consumer i dont 
understand? Sorry my noobiness, but i just started to explore pulp features.

I successfully installed pulp on a machine and used pulp-admin to sync 
RHEL repos and published them via http and https, and so far so good,
but then i wanted to try to register the hosts because the idea to be 
able to "push" updates, changes, and rpm installations looks very nice.

What i dont understand tough its how to do that avoiding to do it manually.
To be more clear, given a host installation (pxe, kickstart, ) i can 
make it run the command

pulp-consumer register --consumer-id=<testhost>

but then i still have to put the newly registered hot in a specific group:

pulp-admin rpm consumer group members add --consumer-id <testhost> 
--group-id <groupid>

and this have to be done server-side. This server side task puzzles me.

We own thousands hosts and manual tanks each time we decide to reinstall 
a host its out of question.
Usually we rely in puppet to domplete the installation/configuration 
after the basic os installation, but since this task have to be done 
server side it cannot be done automatically.

There is a different way to assign automatically a host in a specific 
consumer group?

Thanks in advance
Salvatore
