I thought you were trying to connect 1 client machine to multiple servers. All that said I am currently doing exactly what you are describing. I have it in a two stage setup. I have a box for each architecture downloading all rpms in subscribed channels and dumping it to a central repo. An rhnpush script is kicked off that then iterates through the reop and pushes all the deltas to their corresponding channels. Future development will just pull down the src rpms and rebuild in each environment. If you want I can send you the scripts and directions for setup. I've been using it for months with no issues.<o:p></o:p> <DIV class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" align=center> <HR align=center width="100%" SIZE=2> </DIV> From: spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com To: spacewalk-list@redhat.com Sent: Mon Aug 17 16:52:43 2009 Subject: RE: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk & RHEL question <o:p></o:p> The documentation I’ve seen are mailing list/web postings of people working on scripts to pull RHN packages to add to Spacewalk (rather than Satellite).<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <DIV> ---- Jeff Moody Senior Systems Engineer EVS Corporation 5050 Poplar Avenue ,Suite 1600 Memphis, Tennessee 38157 (901) 259-2387 - 24x7 Helpdesk (901) 881-0919 - Office (901) 497-1444 - Cell jeff.moody@evscorporation.com<o:p></o:p></DIV> <o:p> </o:p> <DIV> <DIV style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: #b5c4df 1pt solid; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 3pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none"> From: spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com [mailto:spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Frey, Evan Sent: Monday, August 17, 2009 3:51 PM To: spacewalk-list@redhat.com Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk & RHEL question<o:p></o:p></DIV></DIV> <o:p> </o:p> Configuration and management is done on clients that are registered with the spacewalk/satellite/rhn server.
