RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description John Sefler 2015-04-07 14:38:35 UTC 
Description of problem:

After the change from commit cb590a75f3a2de921961808d00ab251180c51691 Make 'attach' auto unless otherwise specified

The following help message is no longer true...
[root@jsefler-os6 ~]# subscription-manager subscribe --help | grep -A1 -- "--servicelevel"
  --servicelevel=SERVICE_LEVEL
                        service level to apply to this system, requires --auto


The ", requires --auto" is no longer true since auto-attach is now assumed.


Notice that the following subscribes work as expected when servicelevel is specified without --auto...

[root@jsefler-os6 ~]# subscription-manager subscribe --servicelevel=None

Service level 'None' is not available to units of organization 7299203.
[root@jsefler-os6 ~]# 
[root@jsefler-os6 ~]# subscription-manager subscribe --servicelevel=Premium

Service level set to: Premium

    1209519: Removed erroneous information in help message for subman
    
    - "subscription-manager attach --help" and "subscription-manager subscribe --help"
      no longer indicate that --servicelevel requires --auto

# subscription-manager version
server type: Red Hat Subscription Management
subscription management server: 0.9.48-1
subscription management rules: 5.15
subscription-manager: 1.14.3-1.el6
python-rhsm: 1.14.2-1.el6


# subscription-manager subscribe --help | grep -A1 -- "--servicelevel"
  --servicelevel=SERVICE_LEVEL
                        service level to apply to this system

Observed that "requires --auto" now removed from the "subscribe" help text for --servicelevel option


But, the same is still listed in the subscription-manager man page, under  "Attach" options section

  
ATTACH OPTIONS
       The attach command applies a specific subscription to the system.

<snip>

--servicelevel=LEVEL
     Sets  the  preferred service level to use with subscriptions attached to the system. Service levels are commonly premium,standard, and none, though other levels may be available depending on the product and the contract. This 
                                                                         ^^^^^
preference  can only be used in conjunction with the --auto option, and then it
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
is used as one of the factors for matching subscriptions.

Moving back to "New" , to fix the same in Man page
Comment 5 Chris "Ceiu" Rog 2015-04-13 12:39:40 UTC 
Ahh, missed the man page. Commit details should be inbound shortly.

Comment 9 Shwetha Kallesh 2015-05-04 08:31:40 UTC 
My bad, --auto option is removed from register command --service-level option but it still exists in --service-level option of attach command,so moving back to new ,failedQa

    Updated the manual pages for the attach command
    
    - The --servicelevel option in the man page for "attach" no longer
      implies that --auto must be specified to use it.
