What's the trick to enabling rhel-7-server-devtools-rpms?

I have a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Suite subscription and have been trying to install Red Hat Development Suite in RHEL7. Following the steps outlined in the installation guide:

# subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-devtools-rpms

Results in this error:

Error: 'rhel-7-server-devtools-rpms' does not match a valid repository ID. Use "subscription-manager repos --list" to see valid repositories.

If I list the valid repositories, rhel-7-server-devtools-rpms is missing!

I'm expecting that it should exist as part of my subscription. Has anybody had this issue? What am I missing?

subscription-manager list --consumed

  • That repo should be available with your subscription -- I just checked, and I can see it. Try to run `subscription-manager refresh`. If it doesn't help, try to re-register (see the [doc](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_subscription_management/1/html/rhsm/registering-cmd)). – Robert Kratky Nov 16 '17 at 08:13
  • Thanks for the reply Rob but I've tried that a million times already with no success. I ended up re-subscribing and with a new account ... that worked! – Dennis Labajo Nov 17 '17 at 15:43
  • Glad to hear it worked in the end, though it's weird that a new account was required. – Robert Kratky Nov 17 '17 at 16:36

I ran into this problem as well. To resolve it, I:

  1. Validated I was registered for the Red Hat Developer Subscription on the Red Hat Customer Portal.

  2. On my RHEL 7.5 Server, I opened the Red Hat Subscription Manager interface from the main menu: Applications -> System Tools -> Subscription Manager

  3. Verify that Red Hat Developer Subscription is not listed on the My Subscriptions Tab

  4. On the All Available Subscriptions tab, click the Update button.
    a. The Red Hat Developer Subscription should now be listed.
    b. Select the subscription and click the Attach button

  5. The Red Hat Developer Subscription should now be listed on the My Subscriptions Tab

Upon completion, I was able to enable the devtools-rpms repo.

#> subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-devtools-rpms

Repository 'rhel-7-server-devtools-rpms' is enabled for this system.
