Procedure 3.1. Subscribing to the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Channels using Subscription Manager

1. Run the subscription-manager register command to register the system with Red Hat Network. To complete registration successfully you will need to supply your Red Hat Network Username and Password when prompted.

   # subscription-manager register

2. Identify Available Entitlement Pools

   To subscribe the system to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization you must locate the identifiers for the relevant entitlement pools. Use the list action of the subscription-manager to find these.
   To identify available subscription pools for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server use the command:

   # subscription-manager list --available | grep -A8 "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server"
   

   To identify available subscription pools for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization use the command:

   # subscription-manager list --available | grep -A8 "Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization"
   

   To identify available subscription pools for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform use the command:

   # subscription-manager list --available | grep -A8 "JBoss Enterprise Application Platform"
   

3. Subscribe System to Entitlement Pools

   Using the pool identifiers located in the previous step, subscribe the system to Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, and JBoss Application Platform entitlements. Use the subscribe parameter to the subscription-manager command, replacing POOLID with one of the pool identifiers each time the command is run.:

   # subscription-manager subscribe --pool=POOLID

4. Enable Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.1 Repository

   Subscribing to a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization entitlement pool also subscribes the system to the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.1 software repository. By default this software repository is available, but disabled. The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.1 software repository must be enabled using the yum-config-manager command as the root user:

   # yum-config-manager --enablerepo=rhel-6-server-rhevm-3.1-rpms

5. Enable Supplementary Repository

   Subscribing to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server entitlement pool also subscribes the system to the supplementary software repository. By default this software repository is available, but disabled. The supplementary software repository must be enabled using the yum-config-manager command as the root user:

   # yum-config-manager --enable rhel-6-server-supplementary
