Why yum grouplist and groupinstall command not working on Linux.

Whenever we are trying to install all the default packages by group using 'yum groupinstall groupname' command under RHEL v5.x. But, grouplist, groupinstall and groupdelete options are not working with yum.
How do I fix this issue and make sure yum command works with software groups under Redhat Enterprise Linux to increase productivity?

We need to install a package called yum-utils. its a collection of utilities that make yum easier and more powerful to use. 

Install yum-utils:
Type the following command:
# yum install yum-utils

To list software groups enter:
# yum grouplist


Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
