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/configuring_virtual_machine_subscriptions_in_red_hat_satellite/index?lb_target=preview Section Number and Name: Chapter 2. Creating an Activation Key for Virtual Machines Chapter 3. Attaching a Host-based Subscription to Hypervisors Describe the issue: Satellite 6.13 has by default SCA enabled on it. If SCA is enabled, then there is no option to add Subscriptions to the Activation Key and to attach subscriptions to the hosts/hypervisors on Content Hosts page. Hence the steps mentioned in above 2 Chapters are not valid since Satellite has SCA enabled. Suggestions for improvement: There should be a disclaimer or a note added for both of these chapters which should mention that these chapters/steps are valid only if SCA is disabled on Satellite and Satellite has by default SCA enabled on it. Additional information: "Chapter 6. Registering Virtual Machines to use a Host-based Subscription" in same documentation is also only valid if SCA is disabled on Satellite. If SCA is enabled, user should always prefer registering client to Satellite using Global Registration feature mentioned in 'Chapter 3. Registering Hosts to Satellite' in 'Managing Hosts' documentation. And not using the subscription-manager command mentioned in "Chapter 6. Registering Virtual Machines to use a Host-based Subscription" as this is a deprecated method.
