[Spacewalk-list] upgrade from 1.9 to 2.0 questions

[Boyd, Robert]

Another note about updating to 2.0.   I just noticed also that the clients I updated so far have a nice change on them.
Before with the 1.7 client on them I would always see this message:

"This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register."

It was possible to remove the subscription-manager to get this to stop.   But that's such a bother.   Now after updating to 2.0 I see this instead:

"This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite."

Brian,

You can update the channel / repository info to point to the 2.0 location.   I just did this in the last couple of days.   And you will need to resync it or wait for your scheduled sync to run.  

Once the sync(s) complete you can see what needs to be updated on a particular client -- just do the ordinary yum check-update.

You don't need to update the spacewalk-client-repo because you only use that when not subscribed to the client packages via a channel.

If you do yum update all of the relevant packages will be handled.

I'm ready to upgrade spacewalk server from 1.9 to 2.0 and I have no questions about the server upgrade, however, I do about the clients and the older spacewalk client 1.9 channels.

Q) Do I need to add a new channel for 2.0 or can I modify the 1.9 channel & repo to point to the new 2.0 location?

Q) Since the clients are already registered, do I need to anything? Update the spacewalk-client-repo rpm package?

Thanks.
