[Satellite6] Activation Key for VDC with zero subscription does not attach properly if custom subscriptions were added

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Satellite 6.x
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Virtual Datacenters Subscription

Issue

  • Clients are not getting subscribed when using activation-key for VDC with custom subscriptions.
  • Systems are showing the following message when using Activation Key with custom subscription
Installed Product Current Status:
Product Name: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server
Status:       Not Subscribed

Unable to find available subscriptions for all your installed products.

Resolution

  • Create Two Activation-keys:

    • a) One with no subscriptions and Auto-Attach enabled for VDC
    • b) Second one with custom subscriptions

  • Then use both activation keys while registering the system:

   # subscription-manager register --org="xxx" --activationkey="vdc","custom"

Root Cause

  • This is a known issue and escalated to the engineering team via Bugzilla.
