Chapter 7. Enabling the Red Hat Virtualization Manager Repositories

Register the system with Red Hat Subscription Manager, attach the Red Hat Virtualization Manager subscription, and enable Manager repositories.

Procedure

  1. Register your system with the Content Delivery Network, entering your Customer Portal user name and password when prompted: 

    # subscription-manager register
    Note

    If you are using an IPv6 network, use an IPv6 transition mechanism to access the Content Delivery Network and subscription manager.

  2. Find the Red Hat Virtualization Manager subscription pool and record the pool ID: 

    # subscription-manager list --available

  3. Use the pool ID to attach the subscription to the system: 

    # subscription-manager attach --pool=pool_id
    Note

    To view currently attached subscriptions: 

    # subscription-manager list --consumed

    To list all enabled repositories: 

    # yum repolist

  4. Configure the repositories: 

    # subscription-manager repos \
    --disable='*' \
    --enable=rhel-7-server-rpms \
    --enable=rhel-7-server-supplementary-rpms \
    --enable=rhel-7-server-rhv-4.3-manager-rpms \
    --enable=rhel-7-server-rhv-4-manager-tools-rpms \
    --enable=rhel-7-server-ansible-2.9-rpms \
    --enable=jb-eap-7.2-for-rhel-7-server-rpms

The Red Hat Virtualization Manager has been migrated to a self-hosted engine setup. The Manager is now operating on a virtual machine on the new self-hosted engine node.

The hosts will be running in the new environment, but cannot host the Manager virtual machine. You can convert some or all of these hosts to self-hosted engine nodes.
