Hello.
After receiving the documentation for Fedora Essex and the preview for
Fulsom I decided to start over with a fresh OS install. After installing
RHEL6.3 I tried the following:
[root at addicks ~]# subscription-manager list --available
No available subscription pools to list
[root at addicks ~]# subscription-manager register
This system is already registered. Use --force to override
[root at addicks ~]# subscription-manager list --available
No available subscription pools to list
[root at addicks ~]# subscription-manager list --consumed

I unsubscribed and unregistered my server;and then, re-registered my
server and subscribed to the pool. BTW, I was subscribed to a 30 day
RHEL6 eval license but it is no longer showing when I use the
subscription-manager command.
[root at addicks yum.repos.d]# subscription-manager unsubscribe --all
[root at addicks yum.repos.d]# subscription-manager unregister
System has been un-registered.

Hi,
The version of swift included in the RHOS Essex Preview is 1.4.8, which
should work with Python 2.6.6 (which is what is included in RHEL 6.3)
Where did you get Swift 1.7.5 from? If you're looking to use the RHOS
stuff, you should just stick to yum installing the packages, as the
packages in the RHN repo will be the right versions to work on top of
RHEL 6.3
As an aside, when we release Folsom packages for the RHOS Preview (in a
few weeks), Swift will be updated to (iirc) 1.7.x.
As for resetting subscriptions, you should just be able to run:
subscription-manager unsubscribe --serial=XXXX
Or you could also just run:
subscription-manager unregister
and then re-register the machine, and resubscribe to the appropriate
pools (one for RHEL and one for RHOS)
If after following the unregister/register/subscribe process, you still
can't access the RPMs, it might be an issue with RHN itself. But let's
start with that process. Please provide output of all of the commands
you ran in your next email, so I can follow the exact process you're
using.
