[Spacewalk-list] RHEL repos in spacewalk ?

[Jerome Bossert]

Hi List,
 
I'm fairly new to both RHEL and Spacewalk, and i have an issue to update my RHEL servers, I'm missing something.
I've chosen Spacewalk rather then "redhat satellite server" because I want to be able to manage my Solaris (Sparc) and Suse boxes as well in a near future.
 
 
NEEDS :
I have a high number of RHEL 5.x /6.x servers to manage/update. Right now they have an active subscription to "rhn classic subscription management" with red hat, and it's working well.
I've installed Spacewalk 1.7, I can add/see my testing RHEL5 server, I can create a channel "rhel5". 
 
PROBLEM :
But now I want this channel to be (automatically and frequently) populated (and locally downloaded) with the official RHEL packages (in my case v. 5 for 64-bit x86_64), and being able to update my test server from Spacewalk.
 
Would you help me out to point what I'm missing ?
 
Thanks a lot,
 
Jerome
