[Spacewalk-list] satellite-sync in Spacewalk?

[Pradeep Kilambi]

If you want to use rhn.redhat.com services, then you need a certificate 
that can be validated against hosted. You will need to contact a red hat 
sales associate for that and essentially falls under the enterprise 
category where you have to pay for the entitlements. But if you wanna 
use your own, create your own cert(using  
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/CertCreation ), you should make 
your satellite a disconnected one using this cert as follows.

* rhn-satellite-activate --disconnected --rhn-cert=<your-custom-cert>

and then use the content export tool or channel dumps to extract and 
sync back to your content to new spacewalk servers.
