<div>No, since spacewalk 2.1 you <b>no
longer need to use mrepo</b> but you can sync the RHEL channels
directly with spacewalk-repo-sync.<br>
<br>
Just take a peek at the repo configuration options in the
webinterface and notice that you can add SSL certs, which is what
RHN uses nowadays. You can get the certs via the RHEL customer
portal. <br>
<br>
More details you won't find I'm afraid. It's a nice project to get
it working but I can assure you it works and once you get it up
and running you'll be happy to be rid of any extra
scripts/daemons/... (maybe Paul Robert Marino gave extra info in
the past, just try searching the mailing list archives as he keeps
repeating to everyone asking this question ;))<br>
<br>
As Waldirio also mentioned, technically as long as your spacewalk
host has an RHEL subscription and all your RHEL spacewalk clients
do too, you should be OK license-wise.<br>

<div>You can follow the Jean orientation, perfect. ;-),
one point is, if you need more the one version (RHEL5,
RHEL6, RHEL7 for example), you need configure 3 VM's

<div>Happy for help. About SW
support RHEL, in theory is not
supported (so this is a RHN
Satellite feature), although
technically you can add. About
be in compliance, since you
share rpm packages to your
rhel environment, but to all
RHEL's that you have
subscription, no problem. What
you CANNOT do is, you have 1
rhel subscription, use this
account to download rpm files
and have 100 rhels registered
in your SW receiving packages
and updates.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ps.: I checked this with
redhat a long time ago, would
be grateful if our Red
Hatters friends tell us
something about it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Downloading rpm from
redhat, the process is the
same, you can configure a
local repo and sync them or if
you download a rpm package,
you can send to channel via
rhnpush.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Let me know if you have
additional doubts.</div>

understand your

<div>Spacewalk
is the RHN
Satellite
Project, so
using
Spacewalk you
don't have
support,
updates, etc</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>RHN
Satellite is a
enterprise
product, with
support,
updates, etc</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When you
buy the RHN
Satellite
Subscription,
you can buy a
"full version"
or started
pack, full
version is, if
you have 10
RHEL's, the
certificate
generated will
come with 10
subscriptions,
if you have
1k, your
subscription
will come with
1k
subscriptions.
There are
details about
unlimited
guests, but we
will not talk
about it now.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When you
install SW,
you have a
certificate to
20k servers,
according
bellow:</div>
<div><br>

<div>So, to
conclude, if
you have the
opportunity to
use RHN
Satellite, you
can do this,
and add
another OS's
as repo. Pay
attention,
each server
that you add
in RHN
Satellite,
will user a
Smart
Management
addon.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If not,
don't worry,
you can add
rhel repo,
according
various older
posts.</div>
