Spacewalk 1.4 (RHEL 5 x86_64)
Oracle 11g (RHEL 5 x86_64)
*Via the GUI
system group with rhel5 systems
SSM select group
confirm only those systems are in SSM
Manage->config channel subscriptions->Subscribe to Channels
select channel
All systems subscribe to all channels listed in "Unsubscribe from Channels"
If you have systems in your selection set subscribed to another channel
even though you not only do not select said channel but its not
available to be selected ALL SSM systems will subscribe to those channels.
...
For instance, say the configuration channel you plan to subscribe to is
called "Foo".
1 system in the selection group is subscribed to configuration channel
"Bar".
"Bar" will be in the "Unsubscribe from Channels" area due to the 1 of
say 76 systems selected is subscribed to it. Ok, no problem.
"Foo" is available in the "Subscribe to Channels" area.
You check mark "Foo" and subscribe etc...
All 76 systems are now not only subscribed to "Foo" but also "Bar" even
though you never selected "Bar" it simply was subscribed to 1 system
prior in your selection set and not part of this task submission.
This works every time I try it regardless of channel names, order, arch,
versions, etc. It would appear (not confirmed) that the "Unsubscribe
from Channels" list gets submitted along with those you tell it to
subscribe to. This should not happen.
