+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1279819 +++
Description of problem:
Instruction wizard "Content Host Registration" leaves out steps to attach a subscription and enable repos.
Step 4 says install katello-agent which you
cannot do as you have no repos at that point.
If you chose to use an activation key:
Step 3 assumes that your activation key provides access
to a subscription & content view (or has auto-attach set to 'True').
Otherwise, there step 4 would not work.
If you chose not to use an activation key:
You still need to attach a subscription and enable some repos.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@rhel7-1-sat6 ~]# rpm -q katello
katello-2.2.0.16-1.el7sat.noarch
[root@rhel7-1-sat6 ~]# rpm -q foreman
foreman-1.7.2.43-1.el7sat.noarch
How reproducible:
Every time.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click Hosts → Content Hosts and then click Register Content Host.
Actual results:
1. Select a Content Source:
[drop-down list of content sources]
2. Install the pre-built bootstrap RPM:
rpm -Uvh http://capsuleserver.example.com/pub/katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm
3. Run subscription-manager in a console on the client host. You may use an Activation Key to register:
subscription-manager register --org="The_Demo_Org" --activationkey="activationkey1"
or authenticate with a username and password:
subscription-manager register --org="The_Demo_Org" --environment="Library"
4. Install katello-agent for remote actions and displaying errata information:
yum -y install katello-agent
Expected results:
1. Select a Content Source:
[drop-down list of content sources]
2. Install the pre-built bootstrap RPM:
rpm -Uvh http://capsuleserver.example.com/pub/katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm
3. Run subscription-manager in a console on the client host. You can use an Activation Key to register:
subscription-manager register --org="<The_Demo_Org>" --activationkey="<activationkey1>"
or authenticate with a username and password:
subscription-manager register --org="<The_Demo_Org>" --environment="Library"
4. Attach a subscription:
subscription-manager list --available --all
subscription-manager attach --pool=<pool_ID>
5. Enable repositories:
subscription-manager repos --enable=<repository-to-be-enabled>
6. Install katello-agent for remote actions and displaying errata information:
yum -y install katello-agent
Additional info:

Will clone for the Installation Guide
=======
Procedure 7.6. Registering Host Systems to the Capsule Server[1]
Duplicates the Instruction Wizard which is incorrect (as per parent bug)
[1] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/6.1/html/Installation_Guide/sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Installation_Guide-Registering_Host_Systems_to_a_Red_Hat_Satellite_Capsule_Server.html
The content in this bug was included in the Satellite 6.1 version of the Installation Guide, but does not have a home in the 6.2 content after the re-structure.
That said, we do have a customer case bug requesting more information about registering hosts. Therefore, I have added a link to the content that was created in this bug to that bug so that it can be used as a reference, and incorporated.
Closing this one as a duplicate.
