[Spacewalk-list] Activation key and "Spacewalk Default"

[Musayev, Ilya]

Hi Robert,

Would you  please make an example of  proper values for --os --release and --arch..

Reason I'm asking, I checked how the release and architecture is displayed under a sinlge system and it seems I could have multiple option.

As of now I have following, which one is correct? What would be a proper entry for RHAS 4 64 and 32 bit and RHEL server 5 32 bit? 


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|         Channel Label        |    Operating System    | Release |  Arch  |
|------------------------------|------------------------|---------|--------|
|          rhel-x86_64-server-5|             rhel-server|        5|  x86_64|
|------------------------------|------------------------|---------|--------|
|          rhel-x86_64-server-5|                    rhel|        5|  x86_64|
|------------------------------|------------------------|---------|--------|
|          rhel-x86_64-server-5|          redhat-release|        5|  x86_64|
|------------------------------|------------------------|---------|--------|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It would help if you can show your --list to see how mapping is done or have another operation that can list what --arch --release and others can be set to.

Thanks
ilya

Its because the channels are not in the default dist map here is my tool for setting channels in the default dist map https://github.com/prmarino1/Extravehicular-Activity-Admin/blob/master/channel-managment/eva-dist-channel-map.pl

Note even though this script uses the published XML RPC APIs for spacewalk to do it this is not considered a supported operation at this time.
but its worked well for me and i hope it works for you.
by the way it has an embedded man file that can be extracted using the pod2text or pod2man tools.
let me know if it helps you
