4. A number of systems in the organization should now be in an unentitled state. The
number of systems unentitled in the organization will be equal to the difference between the
total number of entitlements you removed from the organization and the number of
entitlements the organization did not have applied to the systems.
For example, if you removed 10 entitlements from the organization in step 3, and the
organization has 4 entitlements that were not in use by systems, then 6 systems in the
organization will be unentitled.
After you have the sufficient number of entitlements required, you should then be able to activate
your new Satellite certificate. Note that modifying the web.force_unentitlement variable is only
necessary to reduce an organization's allocated entitlements below what they are using. If an
organization has more entitlements than are being actively used, you do not need to set this
variable to remove them.
I have extra entitlements on my Satellite Certificat e that are not being used. What
happens to these entitlements?
If you are issued a new Satellite certificate and it has more entitlements than are being consumed
on your Satellite, any extra entitlements will be assigned to the administrative organization. If you
log into the web interface as the Satellite administrator, you will be able to allocate these
entitlements to other organizations. The previously-allocated entitlements to other organizations
will be unaffected.

After configuring t he Red Hat Network Package Manager how can I determine if t he
local packages were successfully added to the privat e Red Hat Network channel?
Use the command rhn_package_manager -l -c "name_of_private_channel" to list
the private channel packages known to the Satellite. Or visit the Satellite interface.
After subscribing a registered system to the private channel, you can also execute the command
yum --disablerepo="* " --enablerepo="your_repo_name" list available on the
registered system and look for the packages from the private Satellite channel.
How can I determine whether the clients are connecting to the Squid server?
The /var/log/squid/access.log file logs all connections to the Squid server.
The Red Hat Update Agent on the client syst ems does not connect t hrough the Red Hat
Satellite Proxy. How can I resolve this error?
Make sure that the latest version of the Red Hat Update Agent is installed on the client systems.
The latest version contains features necessary to connect through a Red Hat Satellite Proxy. T he
latest version can be obtained through the Red Hat Network by issuing the command yum
update yum as root or from http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/.
The Red Hat Satellite Proxy is an extension of Apache. See the Log Files section of the Red Hat
Satellite Proxy Installation Guide for its log file location.
