Procedure

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

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:

   # dnf repolist

4. Configure the repositories:

   # subscription-manager repos \
       --disable='*' \
       --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-eus-rpms \
       --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-eus-rpms \
