Chapter 19. Changing a subscription service

Procedure

1. Remove the host from the Satellite server.

2. Unregister the system:

   # subscription-manager unregister

   Copy to Clipboard

3. Revert the /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf configuration file to its default values:

   # cd /etc/rhsm/
   # mv rhsm.conf.bak rhsm.conf

   Copy to Clipboard
   Note

   You can restore this file only if the original content of the file was backed up earlier. Otherwise, you must manually restore the file from a non-modified RHEL machine.

4. Verify that the /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf file has been reverted to default values:

   # subscription-manager config --list
