Solved: Satellite Certificate has expired error 3006 code on Redhat Satellite 6.5.
Today we will look at an interesting error message and its resolution.
I have encountered this issue multiple times during redhat satellite migration from 5 to 6 and most of the times this trick resolved my issue.
I. Error Message

There was an error communicating with RHN.

repo id repo name status
!rhel-7-server-rpms/x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server (RPMs) 41,099
repolist: 41,099
[root@ngelinux5~]#
II. Solution
We need to write 0 in front of enabled option to disable the rhnplugin.
To get the latest repo from satellite without this error message.
[root@ngelinux5~]# cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf [main] enabled = 0 gpgcheck = 0 timeout = 120 # You can specify options per channel, e.g.: # #[rhel-i386-server-5] #enabled = 1 # #[some-unsigned-custom-channel] #gpgcheck = 0 [root@ngelinux5~]#
III. Testing
[root@ngelinux5~]# yum repolist Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager repo id repo name status !rhel-7-server-rpms/x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server (RPMs) 41,099 repolist: 41,099
As we can see above the error message is now disappeared.
