Chapter 7. Managing Systems
Subscriptions are available to a system based on whether the software is compatible with the system's architecture. For example, there are different products and subscriptions for 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. Red Hat Subscription Management determines compatibility by collecting a range of facts about the system's hardware and architecture and then comparing it with all available subscriptions.
7.1. Checking System Facts
Updating the facts resends the information about the system to the Red Hat subscription service so that it can update the list of subscriptions which match the system architecture. Updating the facts is a recommended after hardware upgrades or other important system changes.
