Mike, This is a bug report against to RHN_SAT_Reference_Guide500. Due to no selection for Ref_Guide, this has been submitted to Install_Guide. 6.3.4.1 System Entitlements "To change an individual base entitlement, select the checkbox to the left of the system, then click the button that corresponds to the entitlement you wish to add. For add-on entitlements, select the system's checkbox, followed by the desired entitlement from the drop-down box, and finally press the <guibutton>Add Entitlement</guibutton> button." It seems that the select methods of base-entitlement and addon-entitlement need to be inverted. Base entitlement can be change via drop-down menu, while add-on entitlement can be choosen by clicking the corresponded buttons. The page referred is; https://rlx-3-20.rhndev.redhat.com/rhn/systems/details/Edit.do
Hello John I've heard that you will be in charge for RHN Reference Guide, so assigned to you. Let me know if you are not. Thanks noriko
Hello, Noriko. I've double checked and from the page specified, which is Overview -> Subscription Management -> System Entitlements, you tick the checkbox corresponding to the system name, then click "Set to Management Entitled"; and for add-on entitlements, there is a dropdown. This was addressed in Satellite 5.2.0 Reference Guide. Setting to MODIFIED.
Thanks John! Assuming the part of RHN Satellite it's self would get updated since this bug was filed in 2007. Let me know if you like me to confirm with any test environment.
Verified. It looks correct for the current version of Satellite. From: https://rlx-3-14.rhndev.redhat.com/rhn/help/reference/en-US/s1-sm-your-rhn.jsp#s2-sm-systems-entitlements the text reads: To enable the base entitlement, select the checkbox to the left of the system, then click the Set to Management Entitled button. For add-on entitlements, select the system's checkbox, followed by the desired entitlement from the drop-down box, and finally press the Add Entitlement button.
Release Pending. Checked on rlx-3-10.rhndev.redhat.com with: rhn-i18n-guides-5.3.0.16-1.el5sat rhn-i18n-release-notes-5.3.0.8-1.el5sat satellite-branding-5.3.0.28-1.el5sat satellite-doc-indexes-5.3.24-1.el5sat
