Hello Karthik
I have setup satellite using disconnected mode but i dont have any satellite subscriptionso in that case how i can create manifest for satellite. I do have readhat developer subscription but when i try to create new subscription i dont see satellite option there
Hello,
Developer subscription is for RHEL and not applicable for Satellite.
If you want to try Satellite officially, you ask for trial: How to request for temporary/evaluation Red Hat Satellite subscription to be added to my account? (https://access.redhat.com/solutions/449923)
