[Spacewalk-list] Use gensystemid to create systemid, then mrepo to download RHEL6 repositories

[Jim Miller]

Hi everyone,

I'm in the very early stages of setting up a Spacewalk server and haven't seen much information about mirroring RHEL6 channels.   In reading some of the older posts, I came across the post below about a lookup table for release names and I was hoping someone could post that information.


Thanks,
James Miller

Hi Robert,

The new script is working well in making system ID under RHEL6. Thanks a lot again for your help!

You need an update to the lookup table for release names.   I have the updated table on my spacewalk server.   I will send you something afterwhile - I can't get to it right now.

Hi, This should be a common issue, but I haven't found the solution yet.
# gensystemid -u rhnusername -p rhnpassword --release=6server --arch=x86_64 /mrepo/rhel_6_server-x86_64
gensystemid: Release name 6server is not a known RHN release.
# gensystemid -h | grep rhnrelease
  -r, --release=rhnrelease     specify rhn release {2.1,3,4}{AS,ES,WS,Desktop} 5{Server,Client}
The question is how to use gensystemid to create systemid and then mrepo to download RHEL6 repositories?
Thank you in advance!
