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.

Description John Sefler 2011-07-26 20:00:17 UTC 
Description of problem:

Currently, the following subscription-manager list commands require that the consumer be registered...

# subscription-manager list
Error: You need to register this system by running `register` command before using this option.
# subscription-manager list --installed
Error: You need to register this system by running `register` command before using this option.
# subscription-manager list --consumed
Error: You need to register this system by running `register` command before using this option.

I believe this restriction should be lifted.
These are local client operations that should not need a connection to a candlepin server.  Remember that in the disconnected case, a client can import and consume an entitlement without ever being registered (from the client). Reference https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=712978#c7 



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-0.96.4-1.git.63.7bb4765.el6.x86_64
Comment 1 Devan Goodwin 2011-08-02 17:13:39 UTC 
Agreed, should be lifted for --installed and --consumed.
