the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/single/virtual-instances-guide/#applying_virtual_guest_subscriptions
Section Number and Name: 1.3. APPLYING VIRTUAL GUEST SUBSCRIPTIONS
Describe the issue: This section makes it sound as though vms must be registered as compute resources to use virtual guest subscriptions. I suspect that it was intended to indicate that either VMs must be registered as compute resources OR virt-who must be installed and configured.
Suggestions for improvement: If this is true, re-word the section to make it clear that one or the other of these conditions must be met, rather than the current wording of: "The requirements to successfully applying virtual machine subscriptions include:" (this also implies that the list isn't exhaustive, which it should be).
Additional information: Not sure of the technical accuracy of this wording, but as a guideline, I suggest something along the lines of:
To apply virtual machine subscriptions, you must either:
Register each virtualization manager or hypervisor as a Compute Resource in Satellite. See the Red Hat Satellite 6 Provisioning Guide for more information.
or:
Install and configure the virt-who daemon. This document will guide you through the necessary configuration steps.
Hello Russell, Stephen,
This caught my eye and I wanted to make a suggestion:
"Host-based subscriptions are subscriptions which are applied to a host and inherited by its guests."
might be further shortened and clarified to:
"Host-based subscriptions are applied to a host and inherited by its guests."
but it's not worth another merge if you've completed the work already.
Thanks,
Steve
