Description of problem: RHN v5.2 Reference Guide - 11.1.4.1, has little or no information on how to interpret the Usage column information for Software Channel Entitlements Across Satellite. 1. Does Red Hat have more information on this Usage column? The Usage column numbers and percentages, do not make sense to me. What controls these percentages? How do I know if the percentages are correct? What happens, for example, when the 188 in the following example increases to (100%)? example: 174 of 188 (93%). How reproducible: See Attachment - Steps to Reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: This event sent from IssueTracker by xdmoon [Support Engineering Group] issue 264969 Summary: RHN v5.2 Reference Guide - 11.1.4.1, has little or no information on how to interpret the Usage column information for Software Channel Entitlements Across Satellite. Support spoke to jsherrill and was able to pass on the information to the customer. Please add documentation such as that in Comment #4 to the reference guide. Per customers request and blessing by engineering, I have made this bz public. I've rewritten the content in question to the following to explain the "Usage" column further. Let me know if the explanation is clear and correct, and of course any suggestions for improvement. Thanks! The Organizations subtab also contains broad usage information in the System-Wide Entitlement Usage section, including: * Total — The total number of channel entitlements for the Satellite. * Available — The number of entitlements currently available for allocation. * Usage — The number of entitlements currently in use by all organizations (aside from the base organization), compared to the total number of entitlements allocated. For example, if the Total column is 100 and the Available column is 70, that means 30 entitlements are allocated for organizations. The Usage column shows how many of those 30 allocated entitlements are in use by organizations besides the base organization. So if the Usage column reads 24 of 30 (80%), that means 24 channel entitlements are distributed to Satellite organizations (other than the base organization) out of 30 total allocated. Release Pending. Checked on rlx-3-10.rhndev.redhat.com with: rhn-i18n-guides-5.3.0.16-1.el5sat rhn-i18n-release-notes-5.3.0.8-1.el5sat satellite-branding-5.3.0.28-1.el5sat satellite-doc-indexes-5.3.24-1.el5sat An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.
