Procedure 16.2. How to attach a subscription manually

1. List subscription information and find the Pool ID

   First you need to list the available subscriptions which are of the virtual type. Run the following command in a terminal as root:

   [root@server1 ~]# subscription-manager list --avail --match-installed | grep 'Virtual' -B12
   Subscription Name: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (Basic for Virtualization)
   Provides:          Red Hat Beta
                      Oracle Java (for RHEL Server)
                      Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server
   SKU:               -------
   Pool ID:           XYZ123
   Available:         40
   Suggested:         1
   Service Level:     Basic

   Multi-Entitlement: No
   Ends:              01/02/2017
   System Type:       Virtual
   

   Note the Pool ID displayed. Copy this ID as you will need it in the next step.

2. Attach the subscription with the Pool ID

   Using the Pool ID you copied in the previous step run the attach command. Replace the Pool ID XYZ123 with the Pool ID you retrieved. Run the following command in a terminal as root:

   [root@server1 ~]# subscription-manager attach --pool=XYZ123
