Red Hat Network server / registration (classic) down?
I can't seem to register any server's to the Classic RHN (RHEL 6.4). General network connectivity seems to be working just fine. Anyone else having problems?

Hi Jared - just an FYI, this is a forum supported by volunteers. I would recommend opening a case with Red Hat if this host issue is urgent. You can format your console output by using 3 x tilde's ( "~~~") surrounding the code.
Can you return the following output:
dig -4 xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com
netstat -rn | grep ^0.0.0.0
ping -c 2 8.8.8.8
ping -c 2 209.132.183.192
Which should resemble something like...
[jradtke@cypher ~]$ dig -4 xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com
; <<>> DiG 9.9.4-P2-RedHat-9.9.4-15.P2.fc20 <<>> -4 xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com

at 18:07 EDT tried this again.
telnet xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com 443
Trying 209.132.183.192...
Connected to xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

telnet> q
Connection closed.
telnet xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com 80
Trying 209.132.183.192...
^C
Port 443 is ok, 80 times out still.
Same here. Went to update a number of my RHEL5 systems and "yum check-update" hangs at various parts of its processing. Seems pretty random when it hangs. Sometimes, I can get back a list of available updates. Other times, I can't get past it loading the rhnplugin and security plugins.
I've been advised (although I have nothing official that I can point my customers at) by RH Support via chat that "hi, we have know issues in the Customer Portal at the moment. it is observed with running yum update or registering system or downloading an iso. customer portal service desk is now working on it". I'm trying to get something official out of them that is hopefully publicly available but it looks like they're having all sorts of issues at the moment. I myself am having timeouts consistently 1 out of every 3 connection attempts (tested via telnet on 443) but one of my customers is having about a 5% success rate. It appears mileage varies considerably.
http://status.redhat.com/index.php says everything is ok, but I cannot register a new server at RHN yet.
sometimes I pass the verification point and asks me for credentials, but now it says it cannot contact xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC from the very begining.
any update on your side?
Hello Yogendra - if you are able, please make sure they are reviewing the Satellite CDN as well.
I am currently running 5.6 (which has been upgraded several times - so my URL might be slightly different?)

Hi .
I am unable to register the server to RHN Network. Is there any issue ??
Getting below error,
We can't contact the Red Hat Network Server.
""
Double check the location provided - is
'https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC' correct?
If not, you can correct it and try again.
""
Checked and there is no issue observed at the DNS and Firewall end . Issue observed today "Mon Nov 10 05:55:30 EST 2014"
I believe there was a significant upgrade over the weekend (and past week) that must be going long.
The Red Hat Store and other services
will be back soon
