Hello there!
I’m testing foreman + katello to replace my spacewalk server.
I have a lot of Oracle Linux 6/7 and it’s not clear to me how to register these.
There are not subscription-manager rpm in Oracle official repos.
It’s possible manager Oracle Linux with foreman + katello?
What is the correct way?
Regards,
Rodrigo
Hi,
there isn’t “correct way”, it’s up to you what method you choose.
Two methods I can think about right now - Ansible & manual registration.
You can use Ansible [0] with configured callback to Foreman, so host will be created from reported facts or register hosts manually with Foreman’s registration feature [1].
[0] Foreman :: Plugin Manuals
[1] Registering hosts at docs.theforeman.org
It’s absolutely possible to provision/manage host running Oracle Linux. Have a look at the orcharhino documentation Managing Oracle Linux Hosts. For the initial host registration, see Attaching hosts > Oracle Linux.
Hi !
I don’t have subscription-manager in Oracle Linux 7 Repo or Epel Repo.
I need to install the subscription-manager package from the another repo? where can I find?
[root@srv-3135 ~]# yum install -y subscription-manager
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, ulninfo
This system is receiving updates from ULN.
No package subscription-manager available.
Error: Nothing to do
[root@srv-3135 ~]#
[root@srv-3135 ~]# cat /etc/os-release

Regards,
Have you tried using subscription-manager from CentOS 7 on Oracle Linux 7? This should work just fine.
I think we had to disable some packages from oracle that explicitly conflict with subscription-manager though…
For OL7 you need to filter the following packages in your content view:
rhn-check
rhn-client-tools
rhn-setup
rhn-setup-gnome
rhnlib
rhnsd
yum-rhn-plugin
yum-plugin-ulinfo
