Register Redhat Network

[anitsirc]

Hi,
I have 3 system recorded in redhat network, last month changed the ip's of them but in redhat network continue putting the old ones. How I can modify? I have new systems to register?
Another little thing, I tried to update packages and errats: on update now but does not update anything, can be the subject of ip's?
But has nothing to do, which is the way to update the system (packages, etc) from RedHat Network?

Thank you very much.

for register you try this it may be work
RHEL5

Registering A System With Red Hat Network

Our campus RHEL subscription enables us to use the Red Hat Network (RHN) to manage software packages and updates on systems. ISU also has an RHN Proxy Server that serves as an on-campus cache of softwware updates from Red Hat. In order for you to use RHN you will need to register your system with RHN. There are two registration procedures, depending on whether you are registering a personal system, or whether you're a campus IT staff member who manages a group of RHEL machines.
Registering a Personal System

After you've installed the system and boot it for the first time, the system will enter the firstboot process. Along with some other basic configuration questions, firstboot will ask you if you would like to register with RHN. Enter your personal RHN account name and password which you should have already received from here. After your machine is registered with RHN, you should be able to log in to RHN and manage your system(s).

NOTE: In RHEL 5, it is no longer necessary to use your personal activation key to register a personal system.
Connecting Your Personal System to the ISU Proxy Server

If your personal system is installed off-campus, this procedure is optional. But if your system is on-campus, registering with the ISU Proxy Server will enable much faster access to packages and updates.

1. Log in as root and open a shell window.
2. Get the bootstrap.sh script:

wget cyclops.iastate.edu/pub/bootstrap.sh

3. Run the boostrap.sh script:

/bin/sh bootstrap.sh

(This installs the ISU Proxy server certicates and configures your system to download packages from that server).
Registering a Group System

If you are a campus IT staff member and have received a group activation key, you can use the activation key to register the machine instead of using your personal RHN account. Just decline the RHN registration questions during firstboot. Then, log in as root and download the bootstrap.sh script:

wget http://cyclops.iastate.edu/pub/bootstrap.sh

Then do:

/bin/sh bootstrap.sh --register xxxxxxxx

where xxxxxxxx is the RHN group activation key that was sent to you. The activation keys that you used in RHEL3 and RHEL4 are still applicable to RHEL5, though you must be careful that the activation key is subscribed to the same base channel as the installation number you used. Otherwise, things can get really weird.



And what error is seen when you try to update system ?

Thanks VED for your answer.
Perphaps i don't explain well; i have three system register in redhat network but only want change the ip's in the redhat network because of i changed in physical system.

Could i update system with "yum update" command?

If i tried update packages from redhat network i have this error:

Error while executing packages action: failed to retrieve repodata/filelists.xml.gz from rhel-x86_64-server-5 error was [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found [[6]]

Thanks in advance.

for register your system use this link :

RHEL5

and for update check your internet connection work correctly if yes
then execute this command as 'root'
Code:
rpm --rebuilddb

this command will rebuild the rpm database. try to update again.
