Registering a system using the RHC client

Updated

Registering your system using the RHC client with the default options will automatically enable the following features on your system:

  • Access to Red Hat content: Provides access to Red Hat CDN repositories.
  • Analytics for Red Hat Insights: Enables data collection for Insights.
  • Remote management: Establishes an additional MQTT network connection to Red Hat services for remote execution of certain actions from console.redhat.com.

In RHEL 10 we are introducing new command line options in RHC that allows the user to disable or explicitly enable feature(s) during the registration process.

To learn more about RHC, please refer to the official documentation.

NOTE:
Use the RHC client only for systems directly connecting to Hybrid Cloud Console, the RHC client currently does not support Satellite. For more information on registering a system to a Red Hat Satellite or Capsule, see Red Hat Satellite Documentation.

RHEL 10

Register a system with the default options

To register with the default option enabled and to ensure the system can execute the Remediation and Tasks from Insights:

# rhc connect --activation-key=<activation_key_name> --organization=<organization_ID>
# dnf install -y rhc-worker-playbook

Register a system with a specific functional level

In RHEL 10, it is possible to disable a feature or explicitly enable a feature during the registration process.

The following example demonstrates how to disable the remote-management feature using the --disable-feature option:

# rhc connect --activation-key=<activation_key_name> --organization=<organization_ID> --disable-feature remote-management

To learn more about customizing the feature levels using the RHC client, please refer to the official RHC documentation.
