theforeman.foreman.convert2rhel

This role creates a basic configuration for everything needed to register and convert CentOS clients to Red hat Enterprise Linux.

First step is upload of manifest and synchronization of RHEL repositories. For more detail see content_rhel Role.

Then the role creates Convert2RHEL products & repositories (and synchronizes them), activation keys and host groups for each OS.

If simple content access is disabled, subscriptions and repositories for RHEL activation keys must be added manually.
