== Overview ==

In this example, my server is already registered to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5 ('''5Server''') i386 channel in ''mrepo''. I used a method similar to:
# '''gensystemid -u RHN_user -p RHN_password --release=5Server --arch=i386 /mrepo/5Server-i386/'''

* Login to [https://rhn.redhat.com/ Red Hat Network].
* Select '''Systems'''.
* Choose the system that is subscribed to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5 channel. e.g., '''server'''-5Server-i386-mrepo
* Select '''Alter Channel Subscriptions'''.
* Under '''Release Channels for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 for IA-32''', select '''RHEL Virtualization (v. 5 for 32-bit x86)''' and click '''Change Subscriptions'''.

== mrepo configuration changes ==

* Add the following in the '''[5Server]''' stanza in your ''mrepo.conf'' configuration file.
[5Server]
...
'''virtualization = rhns:///rhel-$arch-server-vt-$release'''

* Update and generate the repository.
# '''mrepo -ug 5Server-i386'''

== yum.conf configuration changes ==

Example ''/etc/yum.conf'' changes:
...
