You need to register your server with Redhat before you can install the optional repositories.
The links below should help you out in doing that.
https://access.redhat.com/documentation ... g-cmd.html
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/253273
If you have problems registering your server, you will have to contact Redhat for support.

yes, that was the problem the server wasnt register. but we do that on purpose because we use AWS license rather than RHEL, so therefore we dont have RHEL subscription. do you have an alternative or do you really need to have a subscription.

for now what I did is register the server on RHEL, but I dont supposed to be doing that.

now I seem to be getting this error
