1.3.2. Identifying the Satellite Subscription

After you have registered your host, you need to identify your Satellite subscription Pool ID. You need this ID so that you can attach the required subscription to your host. The Satellite subscription provides access to the Satellite content, as well as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Software Collections (RHSCL), and Red Hat Satellite. This is the only subscription required.
Run the following command to identify your Satellite subscription: 
# subscription-manager list --all --available

Important

Make a note of the Pool ID; you need this value to attach your subscription to your Satellite host. In this example the Pool ID is 8a85f9874152663c0541943739717d11. The Pool ID for your subscription will be different.
Run the following command to attach your subscription to your Satellite. Ensure you substitute your own Pool ID: 
# subscription-manager attach --pool=8a85f9874152663c0541943739717d11
