runprobe to examine the complete output of the probe. Note that by default, rhn-runprobe

works in test mode, meaning no results are entered in the database. Here are its options:

Table 5.3. rhn-runprobe Options

Option Description

--help List the available options and exit.

--probe=PROBE_ID Run the probe with this ID.

--prob_arg=PARAMETER Override any probe parameters from the database.

--m odule=PERL_MODULE Package name of alternate code to run.

--log=all=LEVEL Set log level for a package or package prefix.

--debug=LEVEL Set numeric debugging level.

--live Execute the probe, queue data and send out notifications (if

needed).

At a minimum, include the --probe option, the --log option, and values for each. T he --probe

option takes the probeID as its value and the --log option takes the value "all" (for all run levels)

and a numeric verbosity level as its values. Here is an example:

rhn-runprobe --probe=5 --l og=all=4

The above command requests the probe output for probeID 5, for all run levels, with a high level of

verbosity.

More specifically, you may provide the command parameters derived from rhn-catalog, like so:

rhn-runprobe 5 --log=all=4 --sshuser=nocpul se --sshport=4545

This yields verbose output depicting the probe's attempted execution. Errors are clearly identified.

5.13. Multi-Organization Satellites and Satellite Certificate

How do I register my systems in a Multiple Organization environment when I do not

have enough entitlements in my Satellite Certificate?

There are some situations in which you need to free entitlements and do not have a lot of time to

do so, and may not have access to each organization in order to do this yourself. There is an

option in Multi-Org Satellites that allows the Satellite administrator to reduce an organization's

entitlement count below their usage. This method must be done logged into the administrative

organization.

For example, logged into the administrative organization, if your certificate is 5 system management

entitlements shy of being able to cover all registered systems on your Satellite, the 5 systems that

were most recently registered to that organization will be unentitled. T his process is described

below:

1. In the /etc/rhn/rhn.conf file, set web.force_unentitlement to 1.

2. Restart the Satellite.

3. Reduce the allocated entitlements to the desired organizations either via each

organization's Subscriptions tab or via individual entitlement's Organizations tabs.
