One task can only have one module.
You can add a "- name" to the last shell module or add a - in front of the shell module.

oops … I missed.

Now I have corrected like below … still bad luck with me … . Also If I executed these commands directly into clients servers and its working.

  • name: Subscribing a new channel
    shell: sh -c “sudo yum clean all”
  • shell: sh -c “sudo rhnreg_ks --activationkey 1-vblock20161026”
  • shell: sh -c “sudo rhnreg_ks --activationkey 1-vblock20161026 --force”

It's failing on the first rhnreg_ks that doesn't have --force because it's already registered. It this circumstance rhnreg_ks return code is 255, everything higher than 0 is a failure for the shell module.
You can change this behavior with the failed_when.

Have you checked out these two module, maybe they can do what you are trying to do?

rhn_register - Manage Red Hat Network registration using the rhnreg_ks command
rhn_channel - Adds or removes Red Hat software channels
