Hi, I have had limited success registering my guests under RHEL5 Virtualisation with RHN. When I install RHEL4.5 or RHEL5 under my RHEL5 Domain0 using a NFS-install and no kickstart it seems to work OK and I can register both guests. However, when I build the guests using kickstart, the RHEL4.5 guests registers OK using rhn_regsiter and my Domain0 Installation Number, but my RHEL5 guest doesn't wanna know. I get an error... "The installation number you provided is valid but was already activated and the subscriptions have already been used by systems in your organization or is not usable for this system. Please try a different number or try another option listed on the 'Access a Subscription' screen."
I suspect the problem is the result of using the same installation number you are using for the host even though this is supposed to work. If I recall correctly this tries to subscribe the guest to the virtualization channel, which it doesn't need to be subscribed to and if you don't have an extra entitlement to that channel the registration fails as a result. Check if you have a free virtualization entitlement or try installing the guest without using the installation number.
Does anyone know the proper way to register a guest, once built, to RHN? (I noticed the registration process is subtly different between RHEL4.5 and RHEL5.)
Try logging into RHN and unsubscribing the guest from the virtualization channel, then try registering the guest again.
Do I have to run a special registration script that is somehow Xen-aware? And if so, how come the RHEL4.5 guest registration just worked!
RHEL4.5 doesn't use the installation number business, I think that is the difference. John _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
