2.31. subscription-manager
The new Subscription Management tooling allows users to understand the specific products which have been installed on their machines, and the specific subscriptions which their machines are consuming.
- Using Subscription Manager in the following use case fails: a user installs Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop from a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7 Client CD/DVD without an installation number. A user uses Subscription Manager, which finds one Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop product ID to subscribe to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation subscription. A user downloads content from a Workstation repository.The use case scenario described above fails because the rhel-workstation repositories require the rhel-5-workstation product tag in the product certification beforehand in order to view them.To work around this issue, follow these steps:
- Install a rhel-5-client system.
- Mount the ISO to your file system.
- Copy
<path_to_ISO>/Workstation/repodata/productidto the/etc/pki/product/directory, making sure that the file copied ends with.pem(for example,/etc/pki/product/productid.pem) - Subscribe to a Workstation subscription.
- Install a package from a Workstation repository.
