Installation guide

Important
The user credentials to use depend on the subscription service. When registering with
the Customer Portal, use the Red Hat Network credentials for the administrator or
company account.
However, for Subscription Asset Manager or CloudForms System engine, the user
account to use is created within the on-premise service and probably is not the same
as the Customer Portal user account.
If you have lost your login or password for the Customer Portal, recover them from
https://www.redhat.com/wapps/sso/rhn/lostPassword.html. For lost login or password
information for Subscription Asset Manager or CloudForms System Engine, contact your
local administrator.
4. Set the system name for the host. This is anything which uniquely and clearly identifies the
system within the subscription service inventory. This is usually the hostname or fully-
qualified domain name of the machine, but it can be any string.
5. Optional. Set whether subscriptions should be set manually after registration. By default, this
checkbox is unchecked so that the best-matched subscriptions are automatically applied to
the system. Selecting this checkbox means that subscriptions must be added to the system
manually after firstboot registration is complete. (Even if subscriptions are auto-attached,
additional subscriptions can be added to the system later using the local Subscription
Manager tools.)
6. When registration begins, firstboot scans for organizations and environments (sub-domains
within the organization) to which to register the system.
IT environments that use Customer Portal Subscription Management have only a single
organization, so no further configuration is necessary. IT infrastructures that use a local
subscription service like Subscription Asset Manager might have multiple organizations
configured, and those organizations may have multiple environments configured within them.
If multiple organizations are detected, Subscription Manager prompts to select the one to join.
7. If you decided to let Subscription Manager automatically attach subscriptions to the system
(the default), then the system scans for the subscriptions to attach as part of the registration
process.
When registration is complete, the Subscription Manager reports the applied service level for
the system based on the information in the selected subscription and the specific
subscription that has been attached to the new system. This subscription selection must be
confirmed to complete the registration process.
If you selected to apply subscriptions later, then that part of the registration process is
skipped, and the Subscription Manager screen in firstboot simply instructs you to attach
subscriptions later.
8. Click Forward to move to the next configuration area for firstboot, user setup.
