Description Andrew Dahms 2017-02-10 00:22:41 UTC
With the Red Hat Satellite 5.8 beta release, Satellite 5 no longer syncs with RHN, and instead syncs with RHSM. The Installation Guide must be updated in the following key locations -

1. Remove content on generating a certificate -

   * Chapter 3 no longer applies, and must be removed.

2. Add a procedure on how to download the beta installation media to each
   installation scenario before the section on mounting the installation
   media.
   
3. Change RHN Classic registration steps to RHSM registration steps -

   * Step 2. of Procedure 4.3 must be changed into a procedure that outlines
     how to register the system with RHSM.
   * Procedure 4.6 must be changed into a procedure that outlines how to
     register the system with RHSM.
   * Step 2. of Procedure 4.9 must be changed into a procedure that outlines
     how to register the system with RHSM.
   * Step 2. of Procedure 4.13 must be changed into a procedure that outlines
     how to register the system with RHSM.

   The steps for RHSM are those from the following in the Satellite 6.2 
   documentation -

   https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/single/installation-guide#installing_satellite_connected_parent

   The exact channel names are currently being confirmed.

4. Add a procedure on how to generate and download a manifest must to
   each installation scenario between "Configuring the Satellite" and
   "Creating an Administrator Account".
