Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Virtual Datacenters License does not list products

Latest response

Hi,
I have some premium Virtual Datacenter Licenses for my Vmware environment. Which are supposed to provide me with unlimited RH VMs per ESX host.

I have setup Katello which includes, candlepin (for Subscription Asset Management and PULP for repositories) its upstream version of Satellite without all the great bells and whistles.

Now I it all working fine my ESXi hosts are registered and have subscriptions assigned. I can register new RH VMs and attach a subscription to them. All works great.

Problem I have though is getting updates to my VMs.

Even on my VM where I run SAM which is the only one that has access to internet. I am told it is has no products associated with it.

I have looked at article https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/484573 and I do not see a redhat product listed on my manifest all it shows me is see (manifest picture) all I have is Datacenter License with NO redhat products associated.

So when I try to set up pulp I get no repositories listed at all.
Here is a screen shot of my subscriptions:

And here is a list of my Redhat Repositories

Can I get someone from Redhat to look at what is in included on the Datacenter License and ensure that Redhat Products are listed? Otherwise this License is just good for subscriptions but forget about updating your Redhat, it wont let you.

Hi there.

Firstly, please take a look at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/480693 as it might be of some assistance.

If that doesn't help with your issue I think the best thing to do in this instance would be to open a support case so that your account can be examined and we can make sure you have access to the correct repositories.

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply. Great article I have seen it already and used it for some of my initial setup. It has some settings that are recommended for virt-who that should be modified. Basically permissions needed for vcenter do not need to be Administrator (really don't want to have that user's password kept on an unencrypted file) all it needs to get is UUIDs

I have a Support Case open (01094053) which does not really seem to be going far.

Hello,

we have a customer that who wants to install 12 VM on a RHEL server ... How many suscriptions we have?

1 RHEL (for the host server) 1 RHEL for data center (for unlimited guests)

It's ok ?

It should be OK with this setup.

Hi Fransec, The right way of doing for 12 VM will be to have RHV + RHEL VDC (Umlimited Guest RHEL OS) will be the subscription. We do have a single SKU bundle subscription "Smart Virtualization" with our sales with attractive price. "Smart Virtualization" provides RHV+RHV-M + RHEL VDC.

Over RHEL KVM we have a limitation of 4 guest OS only.

hi, what about rhel vrtl dc 2 sckt 3yr 24x7, it enable RHV-M subscription?
