Chapter 10. Registering systems to Red Hat Subscription Management
If you are using Red Hat Subscription Management as the data collection tool, register your RHEL systems to Red Hat Subscription Management. Systems that are registered to Red Hat Subscription Management can be found and tracked by the subscriptions service.
Some RHEL images can use the autoregistration feature of the RHEL management bundle and do not have to be manually registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. However, the following specific requirements must be met:
- The image must be based on RHEL 8.4 and later or 8.3.1 and later.
- The image must be an Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure cloud services image.
-
The image can be a Cloud Access Gold Images image or a custom image, such as an image built with Image Builder. If it is a custom image, the
subscription-managertool in the image must be configured to use autoregistration. The image must be associated with an AWS or Azure integration, as configured from the Settings > Integrations option in the Hybrid Cloud Console, with the RHEL management bundle selected for activation.
NoteThe integrations service was formerly known as the sources service in the Hybrid Cloud Console.
- The image must be provisioned after this integration is created.
RHEL systems that do not meet these requirements must be registered manually to be tracked by the subscriptions service.
Procedure
Register your RHEL systems to Red Hat Subscription Management, if not already registered. For more information about this process, see the following information:
- Information in the Red Hat Subscription Management product documentation, including information about registering and unregistering systems in the Quick Registration for RHEL guide.
- Supplemental information about registering systems in the How do I register a system to Customer Portal Subscription Management? article.
