RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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 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

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).
