Chapter 3. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager

3.1. Subscribing to the Required Entitlements

Once you have installed a Red Hat Enterprise Linux base operating system and made sure the system meets the requirements listed in the previous chapter, you must register the system with Red Hat Subscription Manager, and subscribe to the required entitlements to install the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager packages.
  1. Register your system with the Content Delivery Network, entering your Customer Portal user name and password when prompted:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
    # subscription-manager register
  2. Find the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization subscription pools and note down the pool IDs.
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
    # subscription-manager list --available
  3. Use the pool IDs located in the previous step to attach the entitlements to the system:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
    # subscription-manager attach --pool=pool_id

    Note

    To find out what subscriptions are currently attached, run:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
    # subscription-manager list --consumed
    To list all enabled repositories, run:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
    # yum repolist
  4. Disable all existing repositories:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
    # subscription-manager repos --disable=*
  5. Enable the required repositories.

    Important

    Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.x has reached End Of Life (EOL). Users with Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS) must use the repositories in https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3194482 to keep the environment up and running.
You have now subscribed your system to the required entitlements. Proceed to the next section to install the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager packages.
