Solution Verified - Updated

Environment

  • Red Hat Satellite v.6
  • Hammer
  • RestAPI

Issue

  • How to list Subscriptions consumed by Content Host?
  • How to use the hammer CLI to show which content hosts are using which subscriptions?
  • How to list the hosts using a particular subscription?

Resolution

  • On Satellite server v 6.1:
# hammer subscription list --content-host=client.example.com --organization-id <id>

NOTE: Above output would list subscription information for a single host system,

  • On Satellite server v 6.2:
# hammer organization list
# hammer subscription list --host=client.example.com --organization-id <ORG_ID>
  • The above command will list for only a single host system, for a group of hosts, we can use the for loop command.
# for name in $(cat /tmp/host_list) ; do hammer subscription list --host $name --organization-id <ORG_ID> ; done
  • To list the hosts which are using a particular subscription the below API call can be used.
# hammer subscription list --organization-id <ORG_ID>                                ## Note down the Subscription ID for the subscription.
# curl -k -u admin -X GET https://satellite.example.com/katello/api/subscriptions/<id> | json_reformat

NOTE:

  • Replace the <ORG_ID> with the actual values.

  • In the API output, you can look at the systems section for the subscribed hosts.

  • On Satellite Server v 6.3 and above:

# hammer subscription list --organization-id <ORG_ID>
# hammer host list --search 'subscription_name = "Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Virtual Datacenters with Smart Management, Standard"'

NOTE: Replace the subscription name in the above command, to find Hosts that are consuming that particular subscription.
