Hi John, I just noticed your comments. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.. let me try to explain a bit further: Yes, I agree that this would in fact be a new feature request for rhsm-migrate-classic-to-rhsm, which is a tool I couldn't use (my systems were already registered but not subscribed to any pool so the tool refused to proceed). However, I don't think this whole thing is the same as setting a base release to a specific version (e.g: 7.0). Protecting base stills allows you to remain current on the latest z-stream (7.1.z, 7.2.z, etc..) but it disallows external 3rd party repos that carry some higher-than-RHEL packages to replace base RHEL packages (whatever the version may be). I wasn't aware of 'subscription-manager repo-override --add=protect:1'.. I'm going to look it up in the docs. Best regards A workaround was provided of using "subscription-manager repo-override --add=protect:1 ...". If that is not sufficient please re-open. |
