Red Hat Subscription issues

Background

At some point in March 2016, node1 was not conencting to the repositories properly. the command

subscription-manager identity

Was just showing RHN Classic, nothing more. Face with this, I wasn't able to do any updating on it.

I also ran into the pool ID concept which was mysterious.


Measures

However, it showed the system was registered. And when I ran

subscription-manager unregister

It would say it wasn't registered. However, despite complaints, it would let you register it again with

subscription-manager register

and I then

subscription-manager attach --auto

After this, I got:

[root@node1 ~]# subscription-manager identity
server type: RHN Classic and Red Hat Subscription Management
system identity: fcd7331c-28fd-4b98-979c-be9f6066aa59
name: node1
org name: 6281253
org ID: 6281253

So this is much better, although the other nodes do not give out the server type (pity!), and do not seem to be "RHN Classic".

However, the redhat.repo file was wiped. Nothing in it. The I tried:

subscription-manager list --available

This gave me
