Red Hat Subscription

Manage Red Hat subscriptions and repositories. This role supports registering to Satellite 5, Satellite 6, or the Red Hat Customer Portal.

Requirements

You will need to have an active Red Hat subscription in order for registration to succeed.

Provide rhsm_username and rhsm_password or rhsm_activation_key. These options are mutually exclusive and providing both will result in a failure. The recommended option is to provide an activation key rather than username and password.

Role Variables

Dependencies

None.

About repositories

If you are using an activation key with Satellite, the repositories that are associated to the subscription are configured in your local instance of Satellite. You can't specify rhsm_repos parameter if you are using rhsm_activation_key with Satellite. Otherwise, when using Portal registration method you can use either rhsm_username and rhsm_password or activation key and you can use rhsm_repos to select which repos get deployed.
