Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.

Document URL:

Section Number and Name:
3.1.3. Configuring Repositories
Describe the issue:
If you cut and paste the command to disable all the repositories
the command will fail with the error
# subscription-manager repos --disable " * "
Error: * is not a valid repository ID. Use --list option to see valid repositories.
Suggestions for improvement:
The correct command is
# subscription-manager repos --disable "*"
ie. no spaces around the '*' in the command line
Additional information:
This is in the Doc's for the BETA and should be fixed for GA.

Cutting and pasting the repo enablement also causes problems.
# subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-rpms \ --enable=rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms \ --enable=rhel-7-server-satellite-6-beta-rpms
cannot parse argument: --enable=rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms
cannot parse argument: --enable=rhel-7-server-satellite-6-beta-rpms
This should be put into the standard black code box.
The name of the satellite server channel is also wrong,
after fixing the above command to
# subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-rpms --enable=rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms --enable=rhel-7-server-satellite-6-beta-rpms
Error: rhel-7-server-satellite-6-beta-rpms is not a valid repository ID. Use --list option to see valid repositories.
The correct channel name is `rhel-server-7-satellite-6-beta-rpms`
Thank you, Stuart. Corrections have been made to Section 3.1.3 of the Installation Guide. The repo enablement commands have been placed in the standard code box as well.
