[rhos-list] subscription manager / yum working on one system but not the other

[Mehul Bhatt (mehbhatt)]

BTW, guys, this was repeated on a new node today. 

I figured that 6.4 beta .iso installer sometimes misses /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo file.  Manually copying the file from a healthy node fixed the problem.  Though, I believe this is a workaround - shouldn't yum automatically create the file if it doesn't exist?

I wonder if beta is the issue? That may lock you out of prod bits. Are there any enabled repos (subscription-manager repos --list)
