2.3. Enabling the Required Repositories
To install packages signed by Red Hat you must register the target system to the Content Delivery Network. Then, use an entitlement from your subscription pool and enable the required repositories.
Enabling the Required Repositories Using Subscription Manager
Register your system with the Content Delivery Network, entering your Customer Portal user name and password when prompted:
# subscription-manager register
Locate the relevant subscription pools and note down the pool identifiers:
# subscription-manager list --available
Use the pool identifiers to attach the required subscriptions:
# subscription-manager attach --pool=pool_idWhen a system is attached to a subscription pool with multiple repositories, only the main repository is enabled by default. Others are available, but disabled. Enable any additional repositories:
# subscription-manager repos --enable=repositoryEnsure that all packages currently installed are up to date:
# yum update
Where did the comment section go?
Red Hat's documentation publication system recently went through an upgrade to enable speedier, more mobile-friendly content. We decided to re-evaluate our commenting platform to ensure that it meets your expectations and serves as an optimal feedback mechanism. During this redesign, we invite your input on providing feedback on Red Hat documentation via the discussion platform.
