[Spacewalk-list] Connecting para-virtual clients?

[Edward Dore]

It looks like the machine which you are trying to add the virtualisation entitlement to needs some additional packages installed on to it and Spacewalk is trying to install these packages, but can't find the channels to install them from.

>From memory, the Virtualisation entitlement is for the Dom0 node and it requires the rhn-virtualization-host and rhn-virtualization-common packages, which will be the "RHEL Virtualization channels" part of the message (probably a remnant from the RHN Satellite upstream heritage). Likewise, the Spacewalk Tools bit is probably going to be the likes of the rhncfg-actions package.
