Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
activationkey string | supply an activation key for use with registration | ||
auto_attach boolean |
| Upon successful registration, auto-consume available subscriptions Added in favor of deprecated autosubscribe in 2.5. aliases: autosubscribe | |
consumer_id string | References an existing consumer ID to resume using a previous registration for this system. If the system's identity certificate is lost or corrupted, this option allows it to resume using its previous identity and subscriptions. The default is to not specify a consumer ID so a new ID is created. | ||
consumer_name string | Name of the system to register, defaults to the hostname | ||
consumer_type string | The type of unit to register, defaults to system | ||
environment string | Register with a specific environment in the destination org. Used with Red Hat Satellite 6.x or Katello | ||
force_register boolean |
| Register the system even if it is already registered | |
org_id string | Organization ID to use in conjunction with activationkey | ||
password string | access.redhat.com or Sat6 password | ||
pool string | Default: "^$" | Specify a subscription pool name to consume. Regular expressions accepted. Use pool_ids instead if possible, as it is much faster. Mutually exclusive with pool_ids. | |
pool_ids list / elements=raw | Default: [] | Specify subscription pool IDs to consume. Prefer over pool when possible as it is much faster. A pool ID may be specified as a string - just the pool ID (ex. 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef ), or as a dict with the pool ID as the key, and a quantity as the value (ex. 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef: 2 . If the quantity is provided, it is used to consume multiple entitlements from a pool (the pool must support this). Mutually exclusive with pool. | |
release string | Set a release version | ||
rhsm_baseurl string | Specify CDN baseurl | ||
rhsm_repo_ca_cert string | Specify an alternative location for a CA certificate for CDN | ||
server_hostname string | Specify an alternative Red Hat Subscription Management or Sat6 server | ||
server_insecure string | Enable or disable https server certificate verification when connecting to server_hostname
| ||
server_port string added in 3.3.0 of community.general | Specify the port when registering to the Red Hat Subscription Management or Sat6 server. | ||
server_prefix string added in 3.3.0 of community.general | Specify the prefix when registering to the Red Hat Subscription Management or Sat6 server. | ||
server_proxy_hostname string | Specify an HTTP proxy hostname. | ||
server_proxy_password string | Specify a password for HTTP proxy with basic authentication | ||

state string |
| whether to register and subscribe ( present ), or unregister (absent ) a system | |
syspurpose dictionary | Default: {} | Set syspurpose attributes in file /etc/rhsm/syspurpose/syspurpose.json and synchronize these attributes with RHSM server. Syspurpose attributes help attach the most appropriate subscriptions to the system automatically. When syspurpose.json file already contains some attributes, then new attributes overwrite existing attributes. When some attribute is not listed in the new list of attributes, the existing attribute will be removed from syspurpose.json file. Unknown attributes are ignored. | |
addons list / elements=string | Syspurpose attribute addons | ||
role string | Syspurpose attribute role | ||
service_level_agreement string | Syspurpose attribute service_level_agreement | ||
sync boolean |
| When this option is true, then syspurpose attributes are synchronized with RHSM server immediately. When this option is false, then syspurpose attributes will be synchronized with RHSM server by rhsmcertd daemon. | |
usage string | Syspurpose attribute usage | ||
username string | access.redhat.com or Sat6 username |
Notes
Note
- In order to register a system, subscription-manager requires either a username and password, or an activationkey and an Organization ID.
- Since 2.5 values for server_hostname, server_insecure, rhsm_baseurl, server_proxy_hostname, server_proxy_port, server_proxy_user and server_proxy_password are no longer taken from the
/etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf
config file and default to None.
