Use a text editor such as vi:
# vi /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/product-id.conf /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/subscription-manager.conf
Set enabled to 0 as follows in both files:
[main] enabled=0
Save and close the file. Finally, type the following command to clean cache:
rm -rfv /var/cache/yum/* yum clean all
You can now install or update the system:

When RHN Classic or RHN Satellite is used for updating the system, subscription-manager should be disabled.

This is not recommended with RHEL6:
rm -rfv /var/cache/yum/*
yum clean all
This article doesn’t apply to rhel6. If change the enable value to 0, yum doesn’t work properly. Even after subscription.
