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.

Fixed In Version: subscription-manager-1.20.2-1
Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
*rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm* now automatically enables the `subscription-manager` and `product-id` yum plugins With this update, the *rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm* utility automatically enables the `yum` plugins: `subscription-manager` and `product-id`. With this update, the *subscription-manager* utility automatically enables the `yum` plugins: `subscription-manager` and `product-id`. This update benefits users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux who previously used the *rhn-client-tools* utility to register their systems to Red Hat Network Classic or who still use it with Satellite 5 entitlement servers, and who have temporarily disabled the `yum` plugins. As a result, *rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm* allows an easy transition to using the newer *subscription-manager* tools for entitlements. Note that running *rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm* displays a warning message indicating how to change this default behavior if it is not desirable.

Description Mason Loring Bliss 2017-06-29 16:15:23 UTC 
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Presumably all versions.


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Register a system with RHN.
2. Install subscription manager, disable /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/subscription-manager.conf
3. Run rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm

Actual results:

/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/subscription-manager.conf left disabled

Expected results:

/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/subscription-manager.conf enabled

Additional info:

Unclear how the setting was disabled, but SFDC case 01865488 saw my customer encounter this.
Comment 10 Rehana 2017-11-13 11:56:01 UTC 
Reproducing the failure on RHEL74:
====================================

version:
subscription management server: 2.0.43-1
subscription management rules: 5.26
subscription-manager: 1.19.21-1.el7
python-rhsm: 1.19.9-1.el7

1)REgister system with RHN 

#  rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://rhsm-sat5.usersys.redhat.com/XMLRPC --username=rhsm-client --password=**** --profilename=rhsmtest --force  --nohardware --nopackages --novirtinfo

2)Disabled the subscription-manager and product-id plugins 

#sed -i s/^enabled=1/enabled=0/ /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/subscription-manager.conf

#sed -i s/^enabled=1/enabled=0/ /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/product-id.conf

Verifying the same is set to "0"

#egrep ^enabled /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/product-id.conf
enabled=0
# egrep ^enabled /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/subscription-manager.conf
enabled=0

3) Now migrate the system to RHSM
