   # subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-6-server-rpms \
   --enable rhel-server-rhscl-6-rpms \
   --enable rhel-6-server-satellite-6.0-rpms
   

   Note

   The commands above are based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. If you are using a different version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, change the repository based on your specific version.
