Procedure 3.1. Subscribing to Required Entitlements Using Subscription Manager

1. Register your system with the Content Delivery Network, entering your Customer Portal Username and Password when prompted:

   # subscription-manager register

2. Find the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization subscription pools and note down the pool IDs.

   # subscription-manager list --available

3. Use the pool identifiers located in the previous step to attach the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization entitlements to the system:

   # subscription-manager attach --pool=poolid

4. Disable all existing repositories:

   # subscription-manager repos --disable=*

5. Enable the required repositories for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7:

   # subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-rpms
   # subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-rhev-mgmt-agent-rpms
   

6. Ensure that all packages currently installed are up to date:

   # yum update

   Note

   Reboot the machine if any kernel related packages have been updated.
