Cannot register servers to RHN
Yesterday I spawned 2 virtual servers, both using Redhat 6.2 x64.
The RHN Registration tool isnt working for either server, and I cannot figure out what's wrong.
1) I launch the RHN Registration tool
2) I select the first option
'I would like to receive updates from RedHat network (I don't have access to Redhat network sattelite or proxy)'
3) I enter the corporate account information into the login box and continue
4) I select the 'limited updates' and continue
5) I ensure my system name is ok, select to send both hardware and package profile and click forward
6) I am then immediately presented with a 'Problem registering system' message.
See attached for further clarification. Can anybody help??
Thanks,
James

Hello James,
Seems like some problem while updating package profile to RHN. To diagnose this issue further we need to check error message in /var/log/up2date file.
As a alternative method will it be possible to register system using command bellow ?
# rhnreg_ks --username username --password userpasswd --force
If still issue persists then try bellow commands and provide details
# vi /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
add "debug=10 " at the end of file
# rhnreg_ks --username username --password userpasswd --force
# rhnreg_ks --username username --password userpasswd --force --nopackages --nohardware
We need to check error messages in the debug output of above commands.
If we do not get reason behind the problem then I recommend you to open ticket with Red Hat Technical Support.
