Description Jayant Bhatia 2023-02-01 15:57:54 UTC
Document URL: 

https://dxp-docp-prod.apps.ext-waf.spoke.prod.us-west-2.aws.paas.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.13/html-single/installing_capsule_server/index?lb_target=preview&check_logged_in=1

Section Number and Name: 

2.2. Attaching the Satellite Infrastructure Subscription

Describe the issue: 

1) Satellite have SCA enabled on it by default. Attaching 'Red Hat Satellite Infrastructure' subscription to RHEL machine on which Capsule is to be deployed throws below error. If Satellite has SCA enabled, this step can be skipped.

       # subscription-manager attach --pool=Pool_ID
       Ignoring request to attach. It is disabled for org "RedHat" because of the content access mode setting.

2) Also below Note is mentioned on same Section-2.2.
~~~
This step is optional if you have SCA enabled in the Red Hat Customer Portal. There is no requirement of attaching the Red Hat Satellite Infrastructure Subscription to the Satellite Server using subscription-manager. 
~~~

The above Note is not applicable here since Capsule server is being deployed, and RHEL machine on which Capsule is to be deployed is registered with Satellite server and not with Customer Portal.

Suggestions for improvement: 

1) Change the description in Note. Something like below.

This step is optional if you have SCA enabled in the Red Hat Satellite. There is no requirement of attaching the Red Hat Satellite Infrastructure Subscription to the RHEL machine (on which Capsule is to be deployed) using subscription-manager. 

OR

2) Skip this step from documentation, as by default Satellite have SCA enabled on it now and traditional RHSM method is deprecated.

Additional information: This change will be needed for Satellite documentation of other versions as well.
