Section Number and Name: 5.3

Describe the issue: 

In Procedure 5.1, the 'subscription-manager list --available --all' command informs the user to select the Red Hat Satellite SKU, with the output of

"
+-------------------------------------------+
    Available Subscriptions
+-------------------------------------------+


ProductName:        Red Hat Satellite
ProductId:          SKU123456
PoolId:             e1730d1f4eaa448397bfd30c8c7f3d334bd8b

"

Satellite SKUs should not be used for deploying Capsules. Capsule SKUs for Capsules. Satellite SKUs for Satellites. 

Suggestions for improvement: 

* Change the output of 'subscription-manager list --available --all' to:

Subscription Name: Red Hat Satellite Capsule Server
Provides:          Red Hat Satellite Proxy
                   Red Hat Satellite Capsule Beta
                   Red Hat Beta
                   Red Hat Software Collections (for RHEL Server)
                   Red Hat Satellite Capsule
                   Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server
                   Red Hat Enterprise Linux High Availability (for RHEL Server)
                   Red Hat Software Collections Beta (for RHEL Server)
                   Red Hat Enterprise Linux Load Balancer (for RHEL Server)
SKU:               MCT0369
Pool ID:           9e4cc4e9b9fb407583035861bb6be501
Available:         3
Suggested:         1
Service Level:     Premium
Service Type:      L1-L3
Multi-Entitlement: No
Ends:              10/07/2015
System Type:       Physical


This reflects an actual production SKU that an end-user would have. 


* Step 2 of procedure 5.1 can then be simplified to:

"# subscription-manager subscribe --pool=Red_Hat_Satellite_Capsule_Pool_Id"

This is due to the Capsule subscription providing access to RHEL, Red Hat Software Collections, and the bits for Red Hat Satellite Capsule Server. So, a single pool, which provides multiple repositories.
