So RHEL 7 has been out for about a week, not including the beta or RC cycles, and one of the changes is worth documenting. Unless you use a Satellite Server, the concept of registering to RHN is gone. That means no more rhn_reg or rhnreg_ks to get your updates.<\/p>\n
Bring on subscription-manager!<\/strong><\/p>\n Registering the system. –note that accounts w\/ a mix of various subscriptions and products might not want to auto attach. Once registered we can configure the repos.<\/strong> I like to simply drop anything subscription-manager grabs and then add what I need. Thanks to rjerrido for that tip! Hint: these are the good ones:<\/strong> Down the road fastrack will probably have some good stuff in it: If you need something else, you can list the repos that are available via the subscription you attached: Don’t like this method? That’s ok try running subscription-manager-gui and register your system from there. Then you can modify the repos under “System” -> “Repositories”<\/p>\n Need the epel 7? Of course you do! Now you’re ready to go! …btw if you’ve stumbled upon this blog post, you should really look at the official documentation and kbase articles available at https:\/\/access.redhat.com Update: <\/span>Since I have to do this all the time, I now just paste this into the terminal and go.

\nThe next-gen registration tool was available in RHEL 6, but I never used it as there wasn’t any advantage for my use case. Well, now I have to and I think it’s worth documenting some of these strings. I’m primarily writing this so I can pull up this post to copy\/paste the commands. …I suck at remembering the repo names, and often don’t have the patience to look them up.<\/p>\n
\n$ subscription-manager register --auto-attach<\/code>
\nor
\n$ subscription-manager register --auto-attach --username=[username] --password=[password]<\/code><\/p>\n
\n$ subscription-manager repos --disable=*<\/code>

\nThen grab the repos you want:<\/strong>
