Chapter 2. Exporting and downloading a manifest
Export a manifest from the Hybrid Cloud Console to manage the subscriptions that it contains from within your Satellite instance. Exporting and downloading a new copy of the manifest is required whenever you add or remove subscriptions from the manifest.
Prerequisites
- You are logged in to the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console.
- You are connected to a Red Hat Satellite Server.
- You have Red Hat Satellite 6 or later.
- You have the Subscriptions administrator role in the role-based access control (RBAC) system for the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console.
Procedure
To export and download a manifest, complete the following steps:
- From the Hybrid Cloud Console home page, click Services > System Configuration > Manifests.
- From the Manifests page, click the name of the manifest that you want to export.
Click Export manifest.
ImportantDo not refresh the page while the manifest is exporting. Refreshing the page will disrupt the process.
When the manifest is exported successfully, a notification window opens.
From the notification window, click Download manifest.
NoteThe application encodes the selected subscription certificates and creates a compressed file in .zip format. This file is the subscription manifest that you can upload into Satellite Server. The file saves to your default downloads folder.
After you download the manifest, you can import it into your Satellite Server. You can then use the Satellite web UI to update the manifest and refresh it to reflect the changes. Alternatively, you can import an updated manifest that contains the changes.
