7.5. Registering Guest Instances
Register a virtual system the same as a physical system.
Note
The
virt-who process must be running on the virtual host or on a hypervisor in the environment (for VMware) to ensure that virt-who process maps the guest to a physical host, so the system is properly registered as a virtual system. Otherwise, the virtual instance will be treated as a physical instance.
- Configure the Subscription Manager application on the virtual system to use the Subscription Asset Manager service and CA certificate.
[root@virt-server ~]# rpm -ivh http://sam.example.com/pub/candlepin-cert-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm
- Then register the system to the same organization as its host.
[root@virt-server ~]# subscription-manager register --username=admin --password=secret --org=12345-67-8901 --auto-attach
The organization ID should be available in the Subscription Asset Manager UI or in the Portal entry for the organization. If another system is already registered to that organization, then the ID is available using thesubscription-manager orgscommand.
