Issue

  • I have an old system profile on Red Hat Network (RHN) which occupied a subscription entitlement. So that my new system cannot register to RHN successfully. I know I can fix this issue by delete the old system profile (Ref. How to re-register the system with Red Hat Network (RHN) Classic or Red Hat Satellite) But I would like to keep the old system profile. Can I do that?
  • Need to get OS upgrades after installing RHEL 5.5 on server
