Currently we only have a minimal procedure for registering a RHEV-H with a Satellite server and it doesn't take into account the differences between Satellite versions. This came up as part of the doc text for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1339883 Original doc text (There are further comments on the bug that may be helpful): Cause: The option RHSM allow the user to register a system to the Red Hat Customer Portal calling the subscription-manager command underneath. One important aspect to mention is that when selecting the RHSM type, the **user** cannot flip/change the URL and CA URL, which demonstrate the system will be registered to the Customer Portal. On the other side, when selecting the SAM option it will call the subscription-manager option as well, however it will allow the user to change the URL/CA URL. It seems that some users were using this option to register to a Satellite (which may work on older versions of Sat 6) however the new Candlepin enforces the Organization and Environment to be informed which is what this patch is about. The new patch makes use of the Satellite type to work between Satellite 5 and Satellite 6 versions. The patch recognizes based on the URL passed what version the user is intended to register and then it will call it properly. Note that on Satellite 6.2 > it is required the Organization and Environment when not using the activation key which makes this a valid patch. Consequence: Lack of documentation and users cannot register their RHEV Hypervisor with Satellite. Fix: Steps to register: Satellite server version 5.7 Registration via Text User Interface: 1.
