<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">I’m looking for recommendations for setting up activation keys. Do you normally have an activation key set for each OS version(centos6, centos7) , and specify the appropriate base and
child channels in each? I tested this, and registering the client with “rhnreg_ks” and the appropriate key, and I my client is subscribed to the expected channels.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">I’m also testing the “Spacewalk Default” base channel and the “Universal Default” key, and it’s not working as I expect it to. Is there a way to setup a “generic” spacewalk activation
key so that client registering with it is subscribed to the channels for the correct OS version? I’m thinking of something analogous to using “rhn_register” to register a RH server with the old RHN, or an Oracle Enterprise Server with ULN, you type in your
username and password, and something behind the scenes figures out what OS version is installed and subscribes you to the correct channels. Is that what “Spacewalk Default” and “Universal Default” do, or am I misunderstanding it. I’ve created base and child
channels for centos-6 and centos-7, but I don’t have a channel named “Spacewalk Default”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
