Unregistering a RHEL machine

Unregistering a RHEL machine

The only thing required to unregister a machine is to run the unregister command. This removes the system’s entry from the subscription service, unsubscribes it from any subscriptions, and, locally, deletes its identity and entitlement certificates.

In the Red Hat Subscription Manager GUI, there is an Unregister button in the top right corner of the window.

From the command line, this requires only the unregister command.

Unregistering a Consumer

[root@server1 ~]# subscription-manager unregister

RHEL new packages: crash-gcore-command

New crash-gcore-command packages are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The crash-gcore-command extension module is used to dynamically add a gcore command to a running crash utility session on a kernel dumpfile. The command will create a core dump file for a specified user task program that was running when a kernel crashed. The resultant core dump file may then be used with gdb.

This enhancement update adds the crash-gcore-command packages to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

All users who require the crash-gcore-command should install these new packages

Support for device identification using WWIDs during installation

Fibre Channel and Serial Attach SCSI (SAS) devices can be now specified by a World Wide Name (WWN) or a World Wide Identifier (WWID) for unattended installations. WWN is part of the IEEE standard which makes it easier to identify storage devices during installation for users utilizing Storage Area Networks (SAN) and other advanced network topologies. When a storage device is attached to a server using multiple physical paths for redundancy or improved performance, WWN for any of these paths is sufficient to identify the device.
