6.2. Enabling the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Host Repositories

Procedure

1. Register your system with the Content Delivery Network, entering your Customer Portal user name and password when prompted:

   # subscription-manager register

2. Find the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server and Red Hat Virtualization subscription pools and record the pool IDs:

   # subscription-manager list --available

3. Use the pool IDs to attach the subscriptions to the system:

   # subscription-manager attach --pool=poolid

   Note

   To view currently attached subscriptions:

   # subscription-manager list --consumed

   To list all enabled repositories:

   # yum repolist

4. Configure the repositories:

   # subscription-manager repos \
       --disable='*' \
       --enable=rhel-7-server-rpms \
       --enable=rhel-7-server-rhv-4-mgmt-agent-rpms \
       --enable=rhel-7-server-ansible-2.9-rpms

   For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 hosts, little endian, on IBM POWER8 hardware:

   # subscription-manager repos \
       --disable='*' \
       --enable=rhel-7-server-rhv-4-mgmt-agent-for-power-le-rpms \
       --enable=rhel-7-for-power-le-rpms

   For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 hosts, little endian, on IBM POWER9 hardware:

   # subscription-manager repos \
       --disable='*' \
       --enable=rhel-7-server-rhv-4-mgmt-agent-for-power-9-rpms \
       --enable=rhel-7-for-power-9-rpms

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

   # yum update

6. Reboot the machine.
