How to switch from RHN to Red Hat subscription-manager

RHEL 6 Server

Check if subscription-manager is installed. If not, install it via yum install subscription-manager.
Delete host on the RHN site.
"Unregister" host from RHN:

rm -rf /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid

Add host via the following commands:

subscription-manager register --username [email protected] --password PASSWORD --auto-attach
subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-6-server-optional-rpms

RHEL 6 Workstation

Same steps as for the server. The only think that changes, is the workstation optional repo name. Enable it via the following command:

subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-6-workstation-optional-rpms

RHEL 7 general

For RHEL 7, just use the repos rhel-7-server-optional-rpms and rhel-7-workstation-optional-rpms.
