Description Jayant Bhatia 2023-02-07 21:25:12 UTC

Document URL:

https://dxp-docp-prod.apps.ext-waf.spoke.prod.us-west-2.aws.paas.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.13/html-single/managing_content/index?lb_target=preview

Section Number and Name:

3.6. Attaching Red Hat Subscriptions to Content Hosts

Describe the issue:

Since Satellite-6.13 has by default Simple Content Access enabled on it, the Section "3.6. Attaching Red Hat Subscriptions to Content Hosts" is no more relevant. Below are the observations if we follow the steps listed on same section on Satellite 6.13.

Go to 'Satellite WebUI -> Hosts -> Content Hosts -> Checkbox listed hosts -> Select Action', there is no option to 'Manage Subscription' as listed in the documentation. since SCA is enabled.

Also running hammer command mentioned in documentation throws below warning.

# hammer host subscription attach --host client.example.com --subscription-id 2
Failed to attach subscriptions to the host:
This host's organization is in Simple Content Access mode. Attaching subscriptions is disabled.

Suggestions for improvement: Either this section should be removed from documentation or it needs a Note that this section is valid only when SCA is disabled on Satellite. If SCA is enabled on Satellite, then this specific Section does not make sense as it is not required and there is no option to attach any subscription to registered host.

Additional information: When SCA is enabled on Satellite, there is no option to attach subscription to the registered hosts.

Comment 1 Jayant Bhatia 2023-02-08 12:25:26 UTC

Also '3.7. Updating Red Hat Subscriptions on Multiple Hosts' in same documentation is also not valid here as I mentioned above that there is no option to Manage Subscriptions in Satellite if SCA is enabled on Satellite.
