Procedure 8.1. Installing the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor Packages

1. • Subscribing to Download the Hypervisor using Certificate-Based RHN

     1. Identify Available Entitlement Pools

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

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

     2. Attach Entitlement Pools to the System

        Using the pool identifiers located in the previous step, attach the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization entitlements to the system. Use the attach parameter of the subscription-manager command, replacing [POOLID] with each of the pool identifiers:

        # subscription-manager attach --pool=[POOLID]
