I think rhn-profile-sync will do that. By the way, here are the additional packages that my activation key installs when I register an existing system into Satellite: rhnmd rhn-custom-info rhncfg-management rhncfg-client rhncfg-actions rhncfg osad I'm not sure if there are more (or less) with the current Spacewalk, but you ought to make sure you have these installed (though rhnmd is only necessary if you're doing monitoring).

What worked was scheduling a hardware list refresh for the system and then running rhn_check from that host (or wait for it to do it automatically). It didn’t auto-fire with osad, so I am assuming osa-dispatcher must be using the old IP (as Spacewalk has no notion of the new one at this point). Once I ran rhn_check from the system it updated the IP in Spacewalk and all is well. Is this the correct/best process for changing a managed system’s IP address in Spacewalk? </div></div></blockquote></div>
