Red Hat Subscription Management

Red Hat Subscription Management

Red Hat Subscription Manager is installed on a local system and it tracks what products are installed, what subscriptions are available for the system, and what subscriptions are actually used by the system. It also tracks subscription expiration and automatically attaches new subscriptions based on the products and hardware.
Red Hat Subscription Manager works with content management tools (yum) to help install and update content on the local system.
Operating System : Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2

Mount ISO image in HP-UX 11i v3

ISO image is an archive file that could be written to a optical disc(CD/DVD). ISO images can be created from optical discs by disc imaging software (freely available on internet) or from a collection of files.  In HP-UX 11i v3 by default we can't mount .iso images we need a kernel module "fspd". it is Dynamically Loadable Kernel Module (DLKM).we need to install ISOIMAGE-ENH product which deliver this fspd DLKM.
