Hi All,

I've one RHEL-5.9 server and added one RHEL-6.4 server repository with RHEL-5.9 server but when I'm trying to install or upgrade any package. I'm getting below error.
[root@localhost mnt]# yum list all
Loaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.

2 things stand out:

This makes it kinda hard to get updates/packages etc. It also makes me wonder if you are paying for RHEL (if you don't or don't want to: Use CentOS or Scientific Linux instead).

You are trying to mix and match 2 totally different RHEL versions (5.9 vs 6.4).

Well, you've been told SEVERAL times in other threads that you need to PAY FOR RED HAT ENTERPRISE, but you obviously haven't. If you want to use RHEL and get access to online repositories, you need to PAY FOR IT...there is no way 'around' it. Otherwise, use CentOS, which is nearly identical, but FREE.

And as druuna pointed out, you're using 5.9, so 6.4 packages/dependencies are going to be different, if they work AT ALL. So, as has been explained to you before:

PAY FOR Red Hat, and you get access to their repositories, which makes your problem go away
Load CentOS, and get access to the FREE repositories.

Not really a third option.

If you've got the Install media, then you can setup a local repo https://code.google.com/p/iredmail/w...Yum_Repository.
However, see posts above for a long term soln.

but a local repo will only get you what is on the dvd

you might as well just use the dvd

and if you have tried mixing third party repos for 5.9 AND 6.4
you have a " Frankensteined " install

and it is likely not fixable ( at least not in under a week or two )
