Description Mahesh Taru 2015-11-24 10:05:32 UTC
Document URL: 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Subscription_Management/1/html-single/Using_Subscription_Asset_Manager/index.html#Installation_Prerequisites

Section Number and Name: 
2.1

Describe the issue: 

Under 2.1. Prerequisites the statement on RHEL version requirement is not clear.
The minimum requirement for SAM 1.4 is RHEL6.5 but the statement do not clearly mentions that and leads to confusion that SAM 1.4 is only supported with RHEL6.5
<snip>
 The machine on which Subscription Asset Manager 1.4 is installed must meet these requirements:

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 Server, 64-bit. 
<snip>
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
SAM 1.4 documentation


Suggestions for improvement: 
The statement should clearly mention minimum requirements.
For ex:
"The machine on which Subscription Asset Manager 1.4 is installed must meet these requirements:

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 Server, 64-bit or Above"

Else 

"The machine on which Subscription Asset Manager 1.4 is installed must at-least meet these requirements:

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 Server, 64-bit"

Additional information: 
Also the document do not say anything about support on RHEL7.x
Need to add statement for same.

Comment 1 Bryan Kearney 2017-06-26 20:40:00 UTC
The release of Satellite 5.8 we are deprecating the support of Subscription Asset Manager. The release notes for 5.8 can be found at https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/5.8/pdf/release_notes/Red_Hat_Satellite-5.8-Release_Notes-en-US.pdf.

I am therefore closing out this bug as WONTFIX. If you believe this to be an error, please feel free tor each out to either Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you!
