IBM shared-service 'Red Hat Satellite Six Service' using Red Hat Global Registration Template to register RHEL VM's on CPS

Since Red Hat Satellite 6.8.x the preferred mechanism for host registration in Satellite is changed to using the Global Registration Template (GRT) and the former registration method is deprecated.

In a future Red Hat Satellite version Global Registration Template might be the only way to register a host in Satellite.

Using a Red Hat Satellite Server external to CPS, there is a dependancy on the IBM shared-service 'Red Hat Satellite Six Service' to register RHEL VM's on CPS to the Red Hat Satellite Server in order to apply fixes from the Red Hat Satellite Server repositories.

We request to have a IBM shared-service 'Red Hat Satellite Six Service' on CPS than is using the Red Hat preferred Global Registration Template (GRT) mechanism to register RHEL VM's on CPS to Red Hat Satellite Server for newly deployed RHEL VM's on CPS and for existing deployed VM's on CPS.


If Red Hat decides that Global Registration Template is the only mechanism to register a host in Satellite Server, this will break the registration of newly and existing RHEL VM's on CPS using the IBM shared-service 'Red Hat Satellite Six Service' on CPS.
