16장. Registering your RHEL system
After installing RHEL, register your system to receive updates and to access Red Hat services. You can register your system by using various methods:
- RHC client
- Graphical user interface
- Subscription manager
- Registration assistant
The RHC client provides the following flexible features to register your RHEL system and manage the extent of data collection:
- Access to Red Hat content: Provides access to Red Hat CDN repositories.
- Analytics for Red Hat Lightspeed: Enables data collection for Red Hat Lightspeed.
- Remote management: Establishes an additional MQTT network connection to Red Hat services for remote execution of certain actions from console.redhat.com.
By default, the RHC client enables all available features. However, you can override this behavior by enabling or disabling specific features based on your connectivity requirements. Review the available options and select the appropriate features based on your internal policies on data and network connectivity.
Use the RHC client only for systems directly connecting to Hybrid Cloud Console, the RHC client currently does not support Satellite. For more information on registering a system to a Red Hat Satellite or Capsule, see Red Hat Satellite Documentation.

Register your RHEL system by using the RHC client to connect to Red Hat services with the default feature levels. This enables all available features: access to Red Hat content, analytics for Red Hat Lightspeed, and remote management.
Prerequisites
- You have an activation key and an organization ID to register your system.
Procedure
- Open the terminal window.
Do one of the following:
To register the system with the default feature level and ensure system executes the Remediation and Tasks from Red Hat Lightspeed:
# rhc connect --activation-key=<activation_key> --organization=<organization_ID> # dnf install -y rhc-worker-playbookTo disable any of the features while registering your system:
# rhc connect --activation-key=<activation_key> --organization=<organization_ID> --disable-feature <feature>Where feature can be replaced with:
- content - Provides access to Red Hat CDN repositories.
- analytics - Enables data collection for Red Hat Lightspeed.
remote-management - Establishes an additional MQTT network connection to Red Hat services for remote execution of certain actions from console.redhat.com.
For example, if you want to register your system with a remote management feature disabled so that your system cannot be managed remotely but the system has access to RHEL content and collects data for Red Hat Lightspeed analytics, enter:
# rhc connect --activation-key=<activation_key> --organization=<organization_ID> --disable-feature remote-management
Verification
