  • Problems with subscription-manager

    Posted on

    Hello,
    it's the first time I'm working with subscription-manager.
    I've purchased a RedHat Server license wich I can see via
    RHN-Website.

    I registered a new machine

    # subscription-manager  register
    Username: MyNameGoesHere
    Password:
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX prt-cups-new

    # subscription-manager list --available
    [...]
    ProductName:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux Academic Server, Self-support (16
                            sockets) (Up to 1 guest) with Smart Management
    ProductId:             RH0156864
    PoolId:                XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    Quantity:              1
    Expires:               2013-03-27

    ProductName:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux Academic Server, Self-support (16
                            sockets) (Up to 1 guest) with Smart Management
    ProductId:             RH0156864
    PoolId:                XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    Quantity:              1
    Expires:               2013-03-27


    # subscription-manager subscribe  --pool=XXXXXXXXXXX  (one of the numbers above)

    # subscription-manager list --available
    [...]
    ProductName:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux Academic Server, Self-support (16
                            sockets) (Up to 1 guest) with Smart Management
    ProductId:             RH0156864
    PoolId:                XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    Quantity:              1
    Expires:               2013-03-27

    So one licence seem to be used becaus one less then before

    # subscription-manager list --installed
    +-------------------------------------------+
        Installed Product Status
    +-------------------------------------------+

    ProductName:            Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server
    Status:                 Not Installed
    Expires:                2013-03-27
    Subscription:           XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    ContractNumber:         2973889
    AccountNumber:          553591


    Is that "Not Installed" normal ?
    But anyway

    # yum update
    Loaded plugins: downloadonly, presto, product-id, security, subscription-manager
    Updating Red Hat repositories.
    Setting up Update Process
    No Packages marked for Update

    What is wondering me, is that redhat.repo is empty

    # cat /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo
    #
    # Red Hat Repositories
    # Managed by (rhsm) subscription-manager
    #
    #

     

    There must be updates since this machine was installed fron RHEL 6.1 DVD

    and meanwhile we have 6.2


    Am I missing something ?
    All the certificates seem to be present and OK.
