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.

Updates of subscription-manager list Among the list of available subscription, the output of the subscription-manager list --available command now contains a new field, Provides. This field shows the names of the products that the system is eligible for. In addition, a new field, Suggested, has been added to facilitate compliance and provide parity with the graphical user interface (GUI). (BZ#996993, BZ#1008557)

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:1659 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE subscription-manager and python-rhsm bug fix and enhancement update 2013-11-20 21:53:10 UTC

Description Matthew Mosesohn 2013-08-14 12:48:50 UTC 
Description of problem:
Adding Red Hat OpenStack is quite difficult for certain corner cases, such as Red Hat Employee Subscriptions. It should be easy to tell subscription-manager to list the required product ID that my system is eligible for and contains a particular product inside. In this case, I want 'Red Hat OpenStack', but I may have some cryptic title in the productName (or even dozens of entries that don't!) which may or may not contain the desirable ambrosia within.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.1.23.1-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. subscription-manager list --available
2.
3.

Actual results:


Expected results:
A list of products and subproducts that I can parse or search explicitly.

Additional info:
This capability is already in python-rhsm and is in the JSON returned to the client, but it's just not used by subscription-manager.
Comment 1 Perry Myers 2013-08-14 13:02:27 UTC 
Matt, can you give an example (mock up) of what the subscription-manager command would look like and what the desired output would be?
Comment 3 Matthew Mosesohn 2013-08-14 13:16:57 UTC 
Proposed improvement: list option --verbose
# subscription-manager list --available --verbose

Comment 6 Carter Kozak 2013-09-27 14:14:49 UTC 
This feature should be included in rhel 6.5
Additionally, I am working on a --match-installed option for list --available in rhel7

VERIFIED: Notice that among the list of available subscriptions, a new field caled "Provides" now shows you the names of the engineering product(s) that the subscription will cover once it is attached to the system.

The notion of a search and verbose function are being considered as a future feature.  For RHEL65, the new "Provides" field will always be printed among the subscription-manager list of --available subscriptions.
