How do I install the main repositories for RHEL6
- by eisaacson
We've setup RHEL6 on a new server. As far as we can tell, our subscription is all setup properly. However, when I run yum repolist, it doesn't show any repositories. /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo is empty. I tried pasting in the content from another RHEL6 server's redhat.repo but as soon as I run yum, it wipes it out again.
I just need to get the basic RedHat repositories setup so I can install packages.
EDIT:
Using the GUI, I went to System Administration Red Hat Subscription Manager. Under the 'Products' tab, it did not show any products.
EDIT:
When I run yum update, here's what I get:
# yum update
Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, security, subscription-manager
This system is receiving updates from Red Hat Subscription Management.
Setting up Update Process
No Packages marked for Update
When I log in to RedHat customer portal, it shows that subscription as active.
EDIT:
To make sure I wasn't having a subscription issue. I re-registered and re-subscribed. I get all the same results.
# subscription-manager register --force
# subscription-manager subscribe --pool=*redacted*
EDIT:
