Run the following on a network connected RHEL host you want to register with RHN Satellite 6:
curl -O http://satellite.it.ufl.edu/pub/bootstrap.py chmod u+x bootstrap.py ./bootstrap.py --login admin-ece --organization ECE --location ECE --hostgroup ECE-Dept --server satellite.it.ufl.edu --activationkey ECE-Dept --force --skip migration --skip foreman --skip puppet
Depending on what tools you use you may want to alter the bootstrap arguments as needed. Run the following for more options:
./bootstrap.py help RHEL8 Hosts will need the bootstrap.py altered or ran with the python path of /usr/libexec/platform-python
