Description of problem: cannot migrate RHEL 5 client system from Satellite 5.7 to Satellite 6.x using activation key along with rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm script. But activation key along with rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm script works for all RHEL 6 client system, even though there is no options for it in man page. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. This syntax works on RHEL6: # rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm --force --org="sysops" --activation-key="migration-rhel6-dev" This syntax does not work on RHEL5 with error "no such option": # rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm --org="sysops" --activation-key="migration-rhel5_x86-prod" Usage: rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm [OPTIONS] rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm: error: no such option: --activation-key Actual results: This syntax does not work on RHEL5 with error "no such option": # rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm --org="sysops" --activation-key="migration-rhel5_x86-prod" Usage: rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm [OPTIONS] rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm: error: no such option: --activation-key Expected results: It should work Additional info:
This is a request to port new functionality back to RHEL 5. RHEL 5 is currently supporting security fixes only so we are closing this issue.
one option would be to run the migration tool while disabling auto attach, "rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm --no-auto" and then perform a registration manually with "subscription-manager register --force --activation-key <key>" after the migration script is run.
