Chapter 24. Subscription management
The following chapter contains the most notable changes to subscription management between RHEL 8 and RHEL 9.
24.1. Notable changes to subscription management
Merged system purpose commands under the subscription-manager syspurpose command
Previously, there were two different commands to set system purpose attributes; syspurpose and subscription-manager. To unify all the system purpose attributes under one module, all the addons, role, service-level, and usage commands from subscription-manager have been moved to the new submodule, subscription-manager syspurpose.
Existing subscription-manager commands outside the new submodule are deprecated. The separate package (python3-syspurpose) that provides the syspurpose command line tool has been removed in RHEL 9.
This update provides a consistent way to view, set, and update all system purpose attributes using a single command of subscription-manager. This command replaces all the existing system purpose commands with their equivalent versions available as a new subcommand. For example, subscription-manager role --set SystemRole becomes subscription-manager syspurpose role --set SystemRole and so on.
For complete information about the new commands, options, and other attributes, see the SYSPURPOSE OPTIONS section in the subscription-manager man page or Configuring system purpose using the subscription manager command line tool.
virt-who now uses /etc/virt-who.conf for global options instead of /etc/sysconfig/virt-who
In RHEL 9, the global options for the virt-who utility on your system are stored in the /etc/virt-who.conf file. Therefore, the /etc/sysconfig/virt-who file is not being used any more, and has been removed.
The deprecated --token option of the subscription-manager register command will stop working at the end of November 2024
The default entitlement server, subscription.rhsm.redhat.com, will no longer be allowing token-based authentication from the end of November 2024. As a result, the deprecated --token=<TOKEN> option of the subscription-manager register command will no longer be a supported authentication method. As a consequence, if you use subscription-manager register --token=<TOKEN>, the registration will fail with the following error message:
Token authentication not supported by the entitlement server
Token authentication not supported by the entitlement server
To register your system, use other supported authorization methods, such as including paired options --username / --password OR --org / --activationkey with the subscription-manager register command.
