I encountered the same difficulties, Michel.
You need to ensure that the Dom0 server has the Virtualisation entitlement
check-box checked in RHN. (This will probably already be the case if you
used an Installation Number to build it).
Then, for a RHEL4.5 guest, just use rhn_register and you should find it
registers OK and you can use yum update.
But, for a RHEL5 guest I found that rhn_register complained about running
out of entitlements, so I used rhnreg_ks instead and this worked fine.
Syntax was:
rhnreg_ks --profilename "<myguest>" --username "<myid>" --email
"<myemail>" --password "<mypass>" --subscription "<mysubscriptionnumber>"

Good day,
I came to a halt with one last question that doesn’t seem to be
authoritatively answered in the list. I will expose the problem quickly.
- With your good help, I was able to install, start
(“create”) and work around pitfalls for creating a Dom0 and a virtual
server.
- Now only remains to update the virtual server, using yum,
as usual.
I tried many things, the furthest I came was using rhn_register and I got
the same error as this person
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/96539-rhn_register-errors.html
In my rhn.redhat.com page, I see there is a virtual machine named “vm1”,
which is correct.
The questions are:
- Considering I am supposedly entitled in having a
“virtualization” entitlement that is still available according to
rhn, am I able to use the very simple command “yum update” or should
I simply give up because I need to purchase another license, can this
whole thing, and install FC on the vm.
- If the answer is “I should be able to do it”, what are the
very simple steps to achieve this.
Thank you
Michel
