Great to hear. For custom content, start here - http://www.katello.org/docs/user_guide/content/content.html
You'll note that we have a number of user guides for all the major
pieces of Katello that are recommended reading as a starting place.

I'm still chugging along on setting up and testing Katello/Foreman… and
now I'm trying to register a host server so that I could manage patching
the system (the purpose of using Katello as a replacement of our Satellite
server). I'm trying to register a CentOS6 64-bit system. I've created a
repository for CentOS6x86_64 and when I follow the instructions to
"Register a Content Host", I get the following error message:
[root@nw-fnx-002 ~]# subscription-manager register --org="Priceline_com"
–environment="Library"
Unable to find Subscription Manager module.
Error: cannot import name create_from_file
Any thoughts what's causing this?
Thanks.

That did the trick! Now I can see the Enable? check boxes. Thank you!
Now, will I be able to set up other repositories? I.e, for CentOSv5 & v6
64-bit - are there instructions for that?

Hi Marc, could you confirm the versions of subscription-manager and
python-rhsm you have installed?
Also could you extract the likely stacktrace from /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log on
the client system.
Thanks.

This version of subscription-manager requires python-rhsm >= 1.12.3, your
version is extremely old. yum/rpm would have complained about this, did
you force install some rpms or something like that?
Anyhow upgrade your python-rhsm and you should get past this.

Devan

Hi Marc, could you confirm the versions of subscription-manager and
python-rhsm you have installed?
Also could you extract the likely stacktrace from /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log
on the client system.
And when I search for this package within Foreman for the CentOS6 x86_64
repository, that I had previously synced in Katello, that package doesn't
exist there either.
Where can I find this package (python-rhsm-1.12.3.noarch.rpm or similar)
and I'll be glad to install it!
Thanks.
Marc.

Anyhow upgrade your python-rhsm and you should get past this.
I’m still chugging along on setting up and testing Katello/Foreman…
and now I’m trying to register a host server so that I could manage
patching the system (the purpose of using Katello as a replacement of our
Satellite server). I’m trying to register a CentOS6 64-bit system. I’ve
created a repository for CentOS6x86_64 and when I follow the instructions
to “Register a Content Host”, I get the following error message:
[root@nw-fnx-002 ~]# subscription-manager register
–org=“Priceline_com” --environment=“Library”
Unable to find Subscription Manager module.
Error: cannot import name create_from_file
Any thoughts what’s causing this?
Thanks.
Hi Marc, could you confirm the versions of subscription-manager and
python-rhsm you have installed?
Also could you extract the likely stacktrace from
/var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log on the client system.
That helped. I downloaded and installed the correct python-rhsm from the
link you provided (I must've missed it before). And I was able to install
the subscription-manager.
Then I was able to register this Content Host server as follows:
[root@nw-fnx-002 tmp]# subscription-manager register --org="Priceline_com"
–environment="Library"
Username: priceline
Password:
The system has been registered with ID:
1df96c83-6c3a-4af3-a56f-cded084f06d8
But, now when I go into Foreman, I can't find this server listed anywhere.
Is there another step? Where did it go?
I appreciate your help!
Marc.
