RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 Adrian Likins 2014-01-27 17:03:39 UTC 
er, bugzilla weirdness.

See https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/291813

The "This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register." 

and/or

"This system is not registered with RHN Classic or RHN Satellite.
You can use rhn_register to register.
RHN Satellite or RHN Classic support will be disabled."


Causes lots of confusion. See view count on that article...

It is also largely wrong for rhel7 (no rhn).

This commit is included in subscription-manager-1.12.2+ which is targeted for release with RHEL6.6.

Moving to product RHEL6 for verification...
Comment 6 John Sefler 2014-07-10 21:26:41 UTC 
Demonstrating/Verifying....


On a RHEL6.5 server where the offending behavior exists...

[root@qe-blade-04 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)
[root@qe-blade-04 ~]# rpm -q $(rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/redhat-release)

OFFENDING MESSAGE "This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register." is presented by the yum subscription-manager plugin


[root@qe-blade-04 ~]# yum update redhat-release-server-6Server subscription-manager python-rhsm --quiet -y --enablerepo=latest-RHEL66

VERIFIED: The offending message is no longer presented by the yum subscription-manager plugin during a yum transaction when not registered.
Comment 7 John Sefler 2014-07-11 14:21:50 UTC 
Note that this bug removes some of the "Yum Plugin usability Improvements" that were implemented to address bug 818383 and bug 832119.
Comment 8 John Sefler 2014-08-20 21:50:44 UTC 
This is failing again.
Somehow the changes that were introduced by subscription-manager commit 050591af59cd0b84e31b689c18a19a6692149f2d got clobbered in subscription-manager.py or got reverted or something that is once against causing the offending message "This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register." to be presented by the yum subscription-manager plugin...


[root@jsefler-6 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-1.12.12-1.el6.x86_64
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# subscription-manager identity
This system is not yet registered. Try 'subscription-manager register --help' for more information.
[root@jsefler-6 ~]# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, security, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.

[root@jsefler-6 ~]# 


Did not expect the offending message during the yum transaction.

Moving back to ASSIGNED/FailedQA

f8b170db15675819eb51459999cc8e99f74059eb changes behaviour as well

commit f8b170db15675819eb51459999cc8e99f74059eb
Author: Devan Goodwin <dgoodwin>
Date:   Wed Jun 4 12:21:29 2014 -0300

    Don't encourage registration in yum plugin if we have ents but no identity.
    
    In containers, we will have entitlements but no identity, we do not want to
    encourage users to run register every time they use yum in this situation.
    
    Also fixing a logic error, if you had no identity, and no ents, we were
    prompting you to subscribe. (when we should be prompting you to register)


(my preference is still to be quiet in both cases...)
Comment 10 John Sefler 2014-08-20 22:40:53 UTC 
and 81d7bc5cf44b6d727781247fe1606d3a13ddfead changes behaviour as too

    1122772: yum repolist now displays warning when appropriate.
Comment 11 John Sefler 2014-08-20 23:15:07 UTC 
In favor of all of the competing commits and newer bug 1122772 used to revert some of the aggressive removal of messaging from this bug, I'm just going to move this bug to CLOSED WORKSFORME against the current build of subscription-manager...

[root@jsefler-6 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-1.12.12-1.el6.x86_64
