No installed products to list

    [root@example ~]#  subscription-manager repos
This system has no repositories available through subscriptions.

Resolution

Root Cause

  • Product certificate pem file is missing from /etc/pki/product/ directory.

Diagnostic Steps

  • Collect sosreport of the system.
  • Verify the product certificate information stored in /etc/pki/product directory.

  • Enable the repository and check for error.

    # subscription-manager repos --enable=REPO_ID
REPO ID does not match a valid repository ID. Use "subscription-manager repos --list" to see valid repositories

  • Review the logs for Subscription-Manager, which shows that no products are updated at /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log
