Issue

  • My satellite certificate expired and my entitlements had not been renewed yet.  After purchasing more subscriptions and obtaining a new satellite certificate, I am getting the below error:
    # rhn-satellite-activate --rhn-cert=satellite.cert
     
    RHN_PARENT: satellite.rhn.redhat.com 
    Error reported from RHN: <Fault -2: 'unhandled internal exception: null'>
