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.

Fixed In Version: subscription-manager-1.29.23-1.el9
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Feature: Multiple environments for use with a single consumer Reason: To give the administrator the ability to assign an ordered list of environments (content views) to a system at registration time and to change that list when it is deemed necessary. Result: For the Registration command, the option 'environment' will now be 'environments' and will support a comma-separated ordered list of environments. For the Environments command, there will be 3 new options: 'set', 'list-enabled', and 'list-disabled'. 'set' will allow an administrator to set a new list of environments for the system. 'list-enabled' will present an ordered list of environments currently assigned to the system. 'list-disabled' will present to an administrator a list of environments that belong to the organization but are not assigned to the system. For the identity command, the environments assigned to the system will be shown in the 'environments' field as a comma-separated ordered list.

Note: This new environments capability is visible in subscription-manager as a new "--environments" option in the register module (replacing the former "--environment" option)...

[root@kvm-08-guest10 ~]# subscription-manager register --help | grep "environment"
  --environments ENVIRONMENTS                                                 <=== NEW
                        register with a specific environment (single value) or
                        multiple environments (a comma-separated list) in the
                        environments is controlled by the entitlement server

Note: New options have also been added to the existing environments module...

[root@kvm-08-guest10 ~]# subscription-manager environments --help | grep environments -A1
usage: subscription-manager environments [OPTIONS]

Display the environments available for a user

--
  --set SET             set a comma-separated list of environments for this   <=== NEW
                        consumer
  --list                list all environments for the organization            <=== NEW
  --list-enabled        list the environments enabled for this consumer       <=== NEW
  --list-disabled       list the environments not enabled for this consumer   <=== NEW

Note: This new capability is dependent on the capabilities of the entitlement server which is not provided by the default hosted subscription.rhsm.redhat.com.

VERIFIED: For the sake of ON_QA verification, the RHEL composes targeting RHEL9.0 GA now include subscription-manager-1.29.23-1.el9 which includes support for multi-environment capable entitlement servers such as planned in the next release of Satellite.  More detailed testing comparable to comment 2 and comment 3 can occur against Satellite once it is updated with a "multi_environment" capable Candlepin server.
