Why packages listed in activation key not installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 client from RHN Satellite server?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Upgraded Satellite to version 5.6 and created kickstart profile and activation key for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 client.
  • RHN tools is highlighted in activation keys child channel.
  • The client will install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 OS and gets registered to RHN Satellite server. But the packages listed below in activation key not get installed.

    osad
    rhncfg
    rhncfg-actions
    rhncfg-client
    
  • As the required packages are not getting installed, then deployment of configuration files to client fails from activation key.

  • What is the problem with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 activation key? Why the rhncfg* packages listed in activation key not get installed? Where RHEL 6 kickstart and activation key works just fine in Satellite server.

Environment

  • Red Hat Satellite 5.6
