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.

Description Tom McKay 2016-06-08 13:47:50 UTC 
1. register a system: subscription-manager register ...
2. clean the system: subscription-manager clean
3. re-register w/ name: subscription-manager register --name name.example.com ...
4. check identity: subscription-manager identity -> name: name.example.com
5. check content hosts and note that only the first system is listed
Comment 2 Mike McCune 2016-06-13 17:13:44 UTC 
Tom, isn't this by design now with 6.2 and the uniqueness constraint that we can only have a host with a name exist once within the Satellite?
Comment 3 Tom McKay 2016-09-26 14:31:08 UTC 
Yes, it's true that there cannot be two hosts with the same name in any org on the server. However, should I be able to use --name w/ sub-mgr at all? If, for example, I spin up a local VM and register it to katello and its fqdn is katello.example.com but another dev has already registered with that name, what happens? Should I not be able to register w/ --name to pick a unique name, overriding fqdn?

If we're removing --name as an option, it should/could return an error to sub-mgr.
Comment 4 Chris Duryee 2016-09-26 18:54:58 UTC 
I am moving this from z to backlog since it's not a straightforward issue per #3. We can move it back to z if needed, once the questions in #3 are resolved.

Peter,

I agree.  Thanks!  I happened to observe the same while doing some queries earlier this week.  I closed bug 1376808 as a duplicate.

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.

Comment 17 Anand Agrawal 2019-02-19 09:40:36 UTC 
Hello Team,

I have a customer looking for this feature. They mentioned that the current `subscription-manager register --name <name-of-the-client>` command does not perform what it is expected to do.  

So, either the name flag should be removed and documented, or it should do what it says it will in the documentation.  

Can someone review and confirm?

Regards,
Anand

The Satellite Team is attempting to provide an accurate backlog of bugzilla requests which we feel will be resolved in the next few releases. We do not believe this bugzilla will meet that criteria, and have plans to close it out in 1 month. This is not a reflection on the validity of the request, but a reflection of the many priorities for the product. If you have any concerns about this, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support or your account team. If we do not hear from you, we will close this bug out. Thank you.

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support. Thank you.
