Hi, you should provide some more information about what you've done. Did you execute sudo yum update ?
What was returned ? The only thing we can see is that you are logged in as root and entered your password. :)

You posted the same three times ... click on "Edit" under the two posts below, delete the content and provide the output from sudo subscription-manager repos --list-enabled in one of the posts and sudo yum repolist in the other post. It provides the information whether your subscription is properly attached to the operating system and which of the available repositories are enabled there.

Thanks :)

Please look into Formatting Help and try to format your posts.

With code blocks your posts are a lot easier to read and maybe more people are willing to help you.

Adding further to Christian reply.....

You could run the command "subscription-manager list" to check if the system is subscribed or not, run "subscription-manager list --available" to see available subscriptions.

If you could see that your system is subscribed then you could find out and enable respective repos as required. To list out all repos matching your subscription, run the command "subscription-manager repos --list" , so to enable "Red Hat Enterprise Linux High Availability (for RHEL 7 Server) (RPMs)" you could run "subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-ha-for-rhel-7-server-rpms".. like this.

Please ask your organization admin if the subscription is entitled to only be used on one physical machine and if it is already attached to another physical system. In this case it cannot work here.
Ask him to how many virtual systems it can be attached and when there is a free option, you can install the system in a virtual machine and then attach the subscription properly inside that VM.

Christian

Hi Jan Gerrit,

This shows all available repositories, disabled and enabled ones and as Virendra seems to be a not so experienced user, it might be a bit confusing for him to recognize the differences. Important is (IMHO) that the subscription is attached, then to check which repositories are enabled, then to update the system and after that eventually add additional repositories.

Regards,
Christian

ir. Jan Gerrit Kootstra's picture Guru 6222 points
18 August 2017 12:11 PM

I agree that he has to attach the subscription first. My experience is that all repos are disabled by default. We will have to coach him through the repo enabling.

Christian Labisch's picture Guru 9715 points
18 August 2017 12:17 PM

You're right Jan Gerrit, that's why I suggested to first clean up everything and then execute sudo subscription-manager attach --auto, the command enables basic repositories. :)

Unfortunately I am running out of ideas now. If you have a valid subscription, it simply should work.
Maybe you find something in the Product Documentation for Red Hat Subscription Management ...

Hello Virendra,

Can you open the menu subscriptions on https://access.redhat.com (on top of the start page)? If so does your organization have active subscriptions? If you are not allowed to open the menu, you need to contact your software asset manager (the person responsible to buy Red Hat subscriptions and ask him/her to verify if subscriptions are still available).

Regards,

Jan Gerrit

Christian Labisch's picture Guru 9715 points

Jan Gerrit seems to be right, the command is a little bit different on RHEL 6 as you can see in your own output of subscription-manager --help you are providing, so please try out the following :

sudo subscription-manager unsubscribe
sudo subscription-manager unregister
sudo subscription-manager clean

sudo subscription-manager register
sudo subscription-manager refresh
sudo subscription-manager subscribe --auto

sudo subscription-manager list
sudo subscription-manager repos

Good luck !

Virendra, I see that your system is registered but there are no subscriptions attached, so you may need to try manually attaching using the pool id 8a85f9894e813307014eb96e93701fd4 (as per your comments) as shown below:

subscription-manager attach --pool=8a85f9894e813307014eb96e93701fd4

If the pool ID is already being used then you would see a message which confirms that this subscription is already applied on a different system as shown below:

[root@managed1 ~]# subscription-manager attach --pool=8a85f981576we456c15ac67c139e5dae
No subscriptions are available from the pool with ID '8a85f981576we456c15ac67c139e5dae'.

Otherwise, you should a successful message like this:

[root@managed1 ~]# subscription-manager attach --pool=8a85f9815ac3wert112bb88c13d25de1
Successfully attached a subscription for: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Suite

After this if you run the command "subscription-manager list" it should show the status as shown below :

[root@managed1 ~]# subscription-manager list

+-------------------------------------------+
    Installed Product Status
+-------------------------------------------+
Product Name:   Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server
Product ID:     69

Status Details:
Starts:         03/13/2017
Ends:           03/12/2018

Later, to see the list of enabled repos:

[root@managed1 ~]# subscription-manager repos --list-enabled
+----------------------------------------------------------+
    Available Repositories in /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo
+----------------------------------------------------------+
Repo ID:   rhel-7-server-rt-beta-rpms

Repo URL:  https://cdn.redhat.com/content/beta/rhel/server/7/$basearch/rt/os
Enabled:   1

Repo ID:   rhel-7-server-rpms
Repo Name: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server (RPMs)
Repo URL:  https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/$releasever/$basearch/os

Repo URL:  https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/$releasever/$basearch/rt/os

At this stage, you should be successful in getting the repos populated, run the command "yum repolist", it should show up the list Later, you could run "yum " command to install or update required packages.

As this is RHEL6.2, not sure why "--auto" parameter is not working, anyways try to attach manually as explained here and check if that helps. Also, whenever you paste command outputs try following "Formating help", so that it gives better readability. All the best!!!

Dear Virendra,

Why do you post the --help messages over and over again ? It doesn't help you or anybody else - the opposite is the case - it prevents other users reading it from being interested. Please note what Jörg Kastning told you earlier and make your posts better readable. Also did you check what I wrote here : https://access.redhat.com/discussions/3155791#comment-1208221 ? Please help us to help you ! :)

Thanks :)
Christian

I could see that there is an error reported while you manually try to attach subscription..

[root@grnlinux-247 ~]# subscription-manager subscribe --pool=8a85f9894e813307014 eb96e93701fd4 Too many content sets for certificate Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server, Standard (4 sockets) (Up to 1 guest). A newer client may be available to address this pro blem. See kbase https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/node/129003 for more informa tion.

You would need to update your subscription-manager package, please refer this Red Hat KB : https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1534943

Once subscription-manager package is update, try out the same steps.. Keep in mind to format your command output messages as Christian said to give better readability. All the best!
