Description Dominic Cleal 2013-12-10 10:02:33 UTC

Description of problem:
The default RHEL kickstart template uses rhnreg_ks in the redhat_register snippet to register the newly provisioned host, however this is now deprecated in favour of subscription-manager.

A new snippet should be added for rhsm support and the templates updated to use it.  The snippet should support enabling non-default repos too.

openstack-foreman-installer ships its own kickstart template, so this will also need updating if it's still in use.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. provision a new host from Foreman with RHN(S) and activation keys set
2. check if /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo is populated
3. check if /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid exists

Actual results:
redhat.repo doesn't exist
systemid exists

Expected results:
redhat.repo should be present and populated
systemid should not exist

Please see the documentation in the redhat_register snippet so you know which parameters to set to use RHSM rather than rhnreg_ks:
