Description Sean V. Thompson 2016-10-19 19:48:44 UTC
Description of problem:
Type=hypervisor missing from the man pages.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.15.9-15.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man subscription-manager
2. 
3.

Actual results:
  --type=CONSUMERTYPE
              Sets the type of unit to register. Most units  in  the  inventory
              will  use  the  default value of system.  For development or test
              units, this can be person , which indicates  a  personal  (rather
              than  organizational) unit. Another type of unit can be candlepin
              for a local content service or domain for an IP domain.

Expected results:
--type should have a description for type=hypervisor

Additional info:
From section 3.9.2 from Satellite 6 install guide[1]
"Register the system as hypervisor, using the --type=hypervisor option with the subscription-manager command."

There is a bit of confusion here , 

As a part of this bug 1461003 fix , we are no longer displaying "--type" option. Its been removed from both man pages and help. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1461003#c12

packages used:
subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-gui-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-rhsm-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-initial-setup-addon-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64
subscription-manager-plugin-container-1.20.5-1.el7.x86_64

Kevin , 

Can you please help us with a way to verify this bug ? 

thanks,
Rehana

We deprecated the option, thus closing WONTFIX, as mentioned in comment 3, we are deprecating the --type option, except in certain usages (type=hypervisor is *not* one of them).
