Selected main updates channel in rhn_register but was registered to EUS channel
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
rhn_register
- Premium and/or Extended Update Support (EUS) entitlement
Issue
- Selected main updates channel in
rhn_register
but was registered to EUS channel - I ran
rhn_register
and accidentally selected the "limited updates" or EUS or "z channel", but then pressed Back and selected the main RHEL Server updates. When my system was registered, it was subscribed to the EUS channel and not the main updated channel.
