Procedure 7.6. Registering Host Systems to the Capsule Server

1. In the web UI, select Hosts → Content Hosts and then click Register Content Host.
2. Choose the required Capsule Server in the Content Source drop-down list.
3. Connect to the host and install the bootstrap RPM:

   # rpm -Uvh http://capsule.example.com/pub/katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm

   Where capsule.example.com is the host name of the Capsule to be used as the content source. If the Satellite Server's integrated Capsule is to be used, then use the Satellite Server's host name.
4. Run subscription-manager in a console on the client host.
   1. You can use an Activation Key to register:

      # subscription-manager register --org=organization_label --activationkey="activation_key"

   2. Alternatively:

      • authenticate with a user name and password:

        # subscription-manager register --org=organization_label --environment="Library"

      • and attach a subscription:

        # subscription-manager list --available --all
        # subscription-manager attach --pool=pool_ID

5. Enable the Satellite tools repository:

   # subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-version-server-satellite-tools-6.1-rpms

   Replace version with 6 or 7 depending on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux version you are using.
6. Enable any additional repositories required for this host:

   # subscription-manager repos --enable=repository-to-be-enabled

7. Install katello-agent for remote actions and displaying errata information:

   # yum install katello-agent
