OK
make_sat_client: does the magic and makes a node a Satellite/Spacewalk client
init_sat_client: (optional) does additional configuration like
removing duplicate profiles, joining config channels, uploading local
files to config channels
Make_sat_client requires kickstart profiles matching the clients type
(i.e. RHEL5 Server). For example 'mksatclient5s-x86_64' for 64 bit
RHEL 5 server.
The kickstart profile needs an activation key to subscribe the
appropriate child channels (like RHN Tools). I generally name the
activation key to be the same as the kickstart profile.
I've attached a sample kickstart profile but I've removed identifying
strings and the SSL and GPG keys. You'll need to put this in.
Remember that kickstart profiles and activations are bound to an
organisation so if you are multi-org, you'll need to clone these
between orgs. The script 'clone_ak_and_kp_between_orgs.pl' should be
a good starting point for you.
Let me know if you have any questions on the above.
Hope the helps.
