Red Hat Satellite 6 Administration

Use the subscription-manager command-line tool to register hosts in both the Red Hat Customer Portal and in Red Hat Satellite.

The katello-ca-consumer package updates the content source location of the host and allows the host to download content from the specified content source in Satellite.

With Simple Content Access, the application model changes from a per-system requirement to a per-organization requirement, to access the content without attaching a subscription to hosts.

Host collections simplify host administration by performing tasks on a group of defined hosts in a host collection. Tasks include installing and updating packages, package groups, and errata.

Activation keys help to automate system registration and subscription attachments.

Activation keys define properties for content hosts, such as available products and repositories, lifecycle environments, and content views.
