      Description of problem:

      Convert2rhel is not working as expected for Oracle Linux 9. The documentation below recommends some steps, for instance

      • Import the convert2rhel ansible role on Satellite
      • register the OL to Satellite

       

      Only with the two steps above, we can already see some issues. There are templates for OL7 and OL8, nothing about OL9

       

      About the registration of OL to Satellite, there is no information about how to install subscription-manager, once this package is not available on OL repositories.

       

      The documentation of convert2rhel when using Satellite is confusing, and totally deserves improvement.

       

      How reproducible:

      100%

       

      Is this issue a regression from an earlier version:

       

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Just follow the docs, trying to convert OL9.5 to RHEL9.5, for instance

      https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html-single/converting_from_a_linux_distribution_to_rhel_using_the_convert2rhel_utility/index#ref_known-issues-and-limitations_assembly_troubleshooting-rhel-conversions

       

      2.

      3.

      Actual behavior:
      The information is not accurate

       

      Expected behavior:
      All the steps clear, and tested, in a way that the customer can convert with no issues.
