订阅匹配

您的 SUSE 产品需要订阅,订阅由 SUSE Customer Center (SCC) 管理。SUSE Multi-Linux Manager 会运行夜间报告,以检查您的 SCC 帐户下所有已注册客户端的订阅状态。该报告提供有关哪些客户端使用哪些订阅、您的剩余订阅数和可用订阅数,以及哪些客户端目前没有订阅的信息。

导航到审计  订阅匹配以查看报告。

The Subscriptions Report tab gives information about current and expiring subscriptions.

The Unmatched Products Report tab gives a list of clients that do not have a current subscription. This includes clients that could not be matched, or that are not currently registered with SUSE Multi-Linux Manager. The report includes product names and the number of systems that remain unmatched.

The Pins tab allows you to associate individual clients to the relevant subscription. This is especially useful if the subscription manager is not automatically associating clients to subscriptions successfully.

The Messages tab shows all the messages generated by subscription matcher during the matching process. They provide information to help understand the results and to improve the matching.

You can also download the reports in .csv format, or access them from that command prompt in the /var/lib/spacewalk/subscription-matcher/ directory.

By default, the subscription matcher runs daily, at midnight. To change this, navigate to Admin  Task Schedules and click gatherer-matcher-default. Change the schedule as required, and click Update Schedule.

由于报告只能将当前客户端与当前订阅相匹配,因此您可能会发现匹配结果随时间而变化。同一个客户端不一定总与同一个订阅匹配。原因可能是新客户端正在注册或未注册,或者添加了订阅或订阅失效。

订阅匹配器会自动尝试减少不匹配的产品数量,具体数量受您帐户中订阅的条款和条件限制。但是,如果硬件信息不完整、虚拟机主机指派未知,或者客户端在未知公有云中运行,则匹配器可能会显示您没有足够的可用订阅。请务必提供有关 SUSE Multi-Linux Manager 中您的客户端的完整数据,以帮助确保信息准确。

订阅匹配器不一定总能准确匹配客户端和订阅。它并非旨在替代审计功能。

1. 将客户端关联到订阅

如果订阅匹配器无法自动将特定客户端与正确的订阅相匹配,您可以手动关联它们。创建关联后,订阅匹配器倾向于将特定订阅与给定的系统或系统组相匹配。

但是,匹配器并非始终遵守关联。这取决于订阅是否可用,以及订阅是否可以应用于该客户端。此外,如果关联导致匹配违反订阅的条款和条件,或者如果匹配器检测到在忽略关联的情况下匹配结果更准确,则就会忽略关联。

要添加新关联,请单击 添加关联,然后选择要关联的客户端。

我们不建议经常性使用关联或者对大量客户端使用关联。对于大多数安装而言,订阅匹配器工具通常已足够准确。
