Satellite 6 - RHSM not showing RH repos for host RHEL 6.2 Client x86
After syncing Red Hat Repository through Satellite 6, and assigning the same corresponding Content Views to two hosts clients, one shows the RHEL repository but the other one not.
The repository synced was "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server - RH Common RPMs x86_64 6Server"
I assumed that because one is a Rhel 6.6 Server and the other one is a Rhel 6.6 Client, It made sense that the Repository RH Commons 6Server will not be available in the Client.
Here is the thing that broke that theory:
I synced the "RH Common RPMs" for i686 Desktop Machines, and did an content host assigment for a RHEL 6.2 x86 Client Machine, no RH Repos was shown with the subscription-manager repos.... Did I do something wrong? or this is a bug?
Is there some way to force subscription-manager to get all RH Repos provided through Satellite 6, even tough they are not a match for the System?

Hello,
It is the same issue if you try do add the common repo on a RHEL 5 below version 5.9.
The comon repo was added later thus not available for version below.
To make it work, set the content-host on version 6Server and not on 6.2.
Then make sure the repo is in the content view that is assigned to that verver.
Then just to be safe, on the server do a subscription-manager refresh.
Then check subscription-manager repos
I was able to put the rh-common on a RHEL 5.8 this way, I also installed katello-agent and puppet from the repo with success.

Thanks daniel for the answer.
But the problem was entirely different.
The RHEL Desktop client, while installed through the iso provided in RHEL Portal, didn't have the productid pem corresponding to the Product 68 (Desktops Rhel), thus when making a subscription-manager repos, didn't find a match.
The solution was getting the 68pem, make sure that when ran the cmd:
subscription-manager list
show at least the SO as a product (instead of not products installed).
