Description Deon Ballard 2011-07-21 18:15:17 UTC

Some new RHSM/candlepin features will require changes to the firstboot workflow. These features are:

1. Multi-org support
2. Stacking (multi-quantity entitlements)
3. Activation keys

Also, a lot of typos and errors were introduced into the content section of the firstboot chapter which need to be cleaned up.

Comment 3 Ruediger Landmann 2011-10-05 00:58:59 UTC

Thanks Deon for supplying the content for fixing this.

Updates incorporated into build 1.0-42 of the guide:

http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/sn-firstboot-updates.html

Specifically:

1. multi-organization support now discussed in http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/firstboot-rhsm.html

2. stacking now discussed in http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/firstboot-rhsmproducts.html

3. activation keys are within scope of the Installation Guide only in the context of using them during installation -- that is, using them in a kickstart file with rhnreg_ks. An example of doing this is provided in "Example 32.1.  Register the system to a Red Hat Network Satellite and log the output:"

Hi Andrew - you're right, that is too inconsistent with the previous screenshot and the accompanying text.

Due to the time constraints we're under, I've had to comment out the image for now and leave the step as text-only. 

I'll push this bug to 6.3. Hopefully we can locate the original, otherwise I'll make a new image.
