Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, subscription management does not support software channels for 64-bit PowerPC architectures. Therefore, the "install-num-migrate-to-rhsm" utility did not work on these architectures, and users were not able to migrate their systems to Certificate-based Red Hat Network (RHN). With this update, the "install-num-migrate-to-rhsm" utility has been modified to use the supported PowerPC product certificates instead. Systems installed on 64-bit PowerPC architectures can now be migrated properly from Classic RHN to Certificate-based RHN.
