To create the uid 1000 user on a manually installed NSP cluster RHEL OS

Purpose

Perform the procedure to create the Linux user that will own the files and processes on the station. Typically this user is named the "nsp" user, although the uid 1000 user can be configured with any name.

The procedure applies only to a manually installed RHEL OS on the following:

  • NSP deployer host

  • NSP cluster node

You must perform the procedure on each such NSP station after a manual RHEL OS installation, and before any NSP software is installed on the station.

Note: You do not need to perform the procedure on a RHEL OS deployed using the NSP qcow2 OS image, as the OS image includes the setting.

Steps
 

Log in as the root user on the station.


Open a console window.


Enter the following:

useradd --shell /sbin/nologin --no-create-home --uid 1000 --user-group name

where

name is the intended name of both the uid 1000 user and user group to which it will belong.


Close the console window.
