There are two possible solutions:

in the plugin configuration file, disable plugin:

    vim /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/subscription-manager.conf
    
    enabled=0

Register to the satellite

does it work for RHEL 7.5 running on AWS ec2-instance as # subscription-manager register --auto-attach Registering to: subscription.rhsm.redhat.com:443/subscription Username: [email protected] Password: [email protected] cannot register with any organizations. – Ashish Karpe Jul 17 '18 at 11:44
Setting enabled=0 took care of this for me in Fedora 33. File was /etc/dnf/plugins/subscription-manager.conf on my system. – user8675309 Jan 10 '21 at 20:21
For fresh installation of Fedora 32, the location of the configuration file is actually this: `/etc/dnf/plugins/subscription-manager.conf` – Dee'Kej Jan 18 '21 at 11:18
Is there a command that can disable the plugin, as opposed to editing the file? – trebor Jul 19 '21 at 19:33
The flags `--noplugins` or `--disableplugin=plugin_name` can be used to disable from command line (via [red hat doc](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/deployment_guide/sec-yum_plugins)). – trebor Aug 02 '21 at 21:49
sed -i 's/enabled=1/enabled=0/' /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/subscription-manager.conf – markhahn May 07 '23 at 17:40
register to satellite? expand please. – IAbstract Jun 08 '23 at 13:44

At least in my case, RHEL 7.6, /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/subscription-manager.conf already had enabled=0.

/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/enabled_repos_upload.conf however, had enabled=1, and changing that to enabled=0 prevented the warning.

This worked for me - although subscription-manager.conf had enabled=1, setting it to zero had no effect on the warning message. enabled_repos_upload.conf enabled=0 suppressed the warning. – AveryFreeman Dec 30 '19 at 04:02

To do this via the yum command line use --disableplugin subscription-manager. This method is good for scripting.

The following example will not print "not registered" message:

# yum --disableplugin subscription-manager list installed | head -3
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos
Installed Packages
GConf2.x86_64                         3.2.6-8.el7                @anaconda/7.5

And just to show you that not providing the flag will print the "not registered" message:

# yum  list installed | head -5
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-
              : manager
This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.
Installed Packages
GConf2.x86_64                         3.2.6-8.el7                @anaconda/7.5

This is much better than hand-jamming a config file. Thanks! — Josh M., May 03 '23 at 21:53

For me, this was fixed after removing the subscription-manager:

sudo dnf remove subscription-manager

You can always re-install if necessary

This is the red hat recommended solution. – kai Aug 30 '22 at 16:59
just noting that removing subscription-manager will trigger removal of other packages, which you might want (podman, ovirt, cockpit). – markhahn May 07 '23 at 17:39

Disable/remove the subscription-manager yum plugin.

Florin, Will removing subscription-manager rpm resolve the issue as well? – xrkr Mar 20 '16 at 13:45
Probably yes :). – Florin Asăvoaie Mar 20 '16 at 14:13

Removing subscription-manager wanted to autoremove ovirt and cockpit, so not a good option in my case. – AveryFreeman Dec 30 '19 at 04:04
This does not disable or remove the subscription-manager plugin. This just disables the repos. You will still get the "not registered" message. – shrewmouse Jul 06 '22 at 15:33

A few years have passed, yum has been replaced by dnf (but they seem to have made sure that command line parsing hasn't been broken too badly).

FWIW, dnf still produces the same error message, but it can be told to omit them with the --quiet switch. Chances aren't bad that this also works for yum.
