Hi,

I am trying to install nagiosxi on my newly build RHEL 6.3 server,

ERROR: Please add the 'Optional' channel to your Red Hat systems subscriptions.
You can do so in the Redhat Network web interface or using the rhn-channel command.
RESULT=1

Then i tried to add the channel i got this error, I dont know the my mistake can i get help in this.

[root@nagiosxi ~]# rhn-channel --add

I have read that link in there but not able to find anything related to my error,

Can you please take a look into that once again.

You can do this through the RHEL website or with the command like you had using the following channel format

I have tried in that way, but did not find any luck

[root@nagiosxi nagiosxi]# rhn-channel -a -c rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6
Username: root
Password:
An error has occurred:
<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>

Can you do it through the RHEL GUI (webpage) as outlined here
