Chapter 17. Configuring System Purpose using the subscription-manager command-line tool


System purpose is a feature of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation to help RHEL customers get the benefit of our subscription experience and services offered in the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console, a dashboard-based, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application that enables you to view subscription usage in your Red Hat account.

You can configure system purpose attributes either on the activation keys or by using the subscription manager tool.

Prerequisites

  • You have installed and registered your Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 system, but system purpose is not configured.
  • You are logged in as a root user.

Procedure

  1. From a terminal window, run the following command to set the intended role of the system:

    # subscription-manager syspurpose role --set VALUE
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Replace VALUE with the role that you want to assign:

    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Compute Node

    For example:

    # subscription-manager syspurpose role --set Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1. Optional: Before setting a value, see the available roles supported by the subscriptions for your organization:

      # subscription-manager syspurpose role --list
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    2. Optional: Run the following command to unset the role:

      # subscription-manager syspurpose role --unset
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Run the following command to set the intended Service Level Agreement (SLA) of the system:

    # subscription-manager syspurpose service-level --set VALUE
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Replace VALUE with the SLA that you want to assign:

    • Premium
    • Standard
    • Self-Support

    For example:

    # subscription-manager syspurpose service-level --set "Standard"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1. Optional: Before setting a value, see the available service-levels supported by the subscriptions for your organization:

      # subscription-manager syspurpose service-level --list
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    2. Optional: Run the following command to unset the SLA:

      # subscription-manager syspurpose service-level --unset
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Run the following command to set the intended usage of the system:

    # subscription-manager syspurpose usage --set "VALUE"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Replace VALUE with the usage that you want to assign:

    • Production
    • Disaster Recovery
    • Development/Test

    For example:

    # subscription-manager syspurpose usage --set "Production"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1. Optional: Before setting a value, see the available usages supported by the subscriptions for your organization:

      # subscription-manager syspurpose usage --list
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    2. Optional: Run the following command to unset the usage:

      # subscription-manager syspurpose usage --unset
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  4. Run the following command to show the current system purpose properties:

    # subscription-manager syspurpose --show
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1. Optional: For more detailed syntax information run the following command to access the subscription-manager man page and browse to the SYSPURPOSE OPTIONS:

      # man subscription-manager
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Verification
