redhat installed products

Latest response

When we were investigating moving to Red Hat, we were issued several temporary subscriptions which apparently had access to almost every channel imaginable.

Now that we have committed to RedHat and re-subscribed using our regular entitlements, we are finding some strange things:
* The systems are receiving updates
* The status for the system in the subscription inventory is listed as "System is not properly subscribed"
* 'subscription-manager list' returns 4 installed products with two subscribed and two not supported
* 'subscription-manager status' indicates that the overall status is "Invalid"

All systems were installed the exact same way with minimum (@Base) package group to start and then adding a basic number of programs X windows libs and a few others.

Is there a way to remove the two products that are not supported (and indeed were never needed or used to begin with)...? I'm not having a great deal of luck with searching possibly because my terminology needs to be corrected.

Is this something to worry about at all. These machines will be/are running oracle databases and we don't want to lose support based on system status (if possible).

Any thoughts or pointers.

The product ids are brought down when you installed packages from other repos. What are the products that are showing as installed?

On most, there are two. On one that I've found so far, the just the first one is listed.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server - Extended Update Support:
- Not supported by a valid subscription.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Load Balancer (for RHEL Server):
- Not supported by a valid subscription.

Thank you so much for taking some moments to respond.

I checked the /var/lib/rhsm/productid.js file to find the repo names.

According to 'yum list', I don't have any packages from the Load Balancer repo installed. I do have packages from installed from the Extended Update Support repo presumably installed as part of our server initialization script which installs the xwindows libraries and a few other odds and ends.
