Register the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Xen Guest system with the Red Hat Network

How do I register my Red Hat Enterprise Linux Xen Guest system with the Red Hat Network?

This procedure will work for both fully-virtualized and para-virtualized guests.

1. The host system (dom0) must be registered with Red Hat Network. Follow standard procedures to register this system with Red Hat Network (RHN).
2. Under the System Properties page, subscribe the base system to the appropriate Virtualization Channel. Virtualization allows for up to 4 Xen guest registrations, while Virtualization Platform allows for an unlimited number of Xen guest registrations.
3. Make sure that the virtualization add on entitlement is checked "Add-On Entitlements: Virtualization *(0 open entitlements)*". This is available via rhn.redhat.com --> Systems (Top Red Bar) --> Click on the host system --> Click Edit These Properties --> Check the add on entitlements box (Virtualization) --> Click update properties.
4. Make sure that rhn-virtualization-common and rhn-virtualization-host are installed on the Host system. If they are not installed, run:

yum install rhn-virtualization-common rhn-virtualization-host

5. Install the Xen guest.
6. Make sure that the Xen guest is running. Please note that xenguest is the name of the Xen guest.

xm create xenguest

7. From the command line on the Host system, run:

rhn_check

8. From the command line on the Host system, run:

rhn-profile-sync

9. From the Xen guest, run:

rhn_register

Now the Xen Guest will show up as a registered, Virtualized system.
