⁠Chapter 5. Registration to the Red Hat Network (RHN)

After you have successfully installed Red Hat Storage, you must register the server to the Red Hat Network and subscribe to the required software channels.

To subscribe to the Red Hat Storage channels using RHN Classic:

Run the rhn_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. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete registration of the system.
```
# rhn_register
```
Subscribe to the required channels.
You must subscribe the system to the required channels using either rhn-channel command from the command line or the web interface to the Red Hat Network.
1. Using the rhn-channel command:
  Run the rhn-channel command to subscribe the system to each of the required channels. The commands that need to be run are:
```
# rhn-channel --add --channel=rhel-x86_64-server-6-rhs-2.1
# rhn-channel --add --channel=rhel-x86_64-server-sfs-6.4.z
```
  Run the following command to ensure the system is registered successfully.
```
# rhn-channel -l
rhel-x86_64-server-6-rhs-2.1
rhel-x86_64-server-6.4.z
rhel-x86_64-server-sfs-6.4.z
```
2. Using the web interface to the Red Hat Network.
  To add a channel subscription to a system from the web interface:
  1. Log in to the Red Hat Network (http://rhn.redhat.com).
  2. Move the mouse pointer over the Subscriptions link at the top of the screen, and then click the Registered Systems link in the menu that appears.
  3. Select the system to which you are adding channels from the list presented on the screen by clicking the name of the system.
  4. Click Alter Channel Subscriptions in the Subscribed Channels section of the screen.
  5. Select the channels to be added from the list presented on the screen. Red Hat Storage requires:
    RHEL EUS Server Scalable File System (v. 6.4.z for x86_64).
    On the same page, expand the node for Additional Services Channels for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 for x86_64 and select Red Hat Storage Server 2.1 (RHEL 6.4.z for x86_64).
  6. Click the Change Subscription button to finalize the change.
    After the page refreshes, select the Details tab to verify that your system is subscribed to the appropriate channels.

The system is now registered with the Red Hat Network and subscribed to the channels required for Red Hat Storage installation.
