[Spacewalk-list] FW: redhat channel in spacewalk

[Daryl Rose]

Waldirio,
Thank you for the explanation. I understand your explanation.  The reason why I'm looking at Spacewalk is because I don't think that I can afford Satellite.  I'll look into the cost and see if it fits the budget or not.  
Your final comment said that RHEL repo can also be add to Spacewalk, but the documentation say's that SW cannot be used with RHEL repo.  Can you please point me to the older posts that show how to add the RHEL repo?
Thanks
Daryl

Spacewalk is the RHN Satellite Project, so using Spacewalk you don't have support, updates, etc
RHN Satellite is a enterprise product, with support, updates, etc
When you buy the RHN Satellite Subscription, you can buy a "full version" or started pack, full version is, if you have 10 RHEL's, the certificate generated will come with 10 subscriptions, if you have 1k, your subscription will come with 1k subscriptions. There are details about unlimited guests, but we will not talk about it now.
When you install SW, you have a certificate to 20k servers, according bellow:
###<rhn-cert version="0.1">  <rhn-cert-field name="product">SPACEWALK-001</rhn-cert-field>  <rhn-cert-field name="owner">Spacewalk Default Organization</rhn-cert-field>  <rhn-cert-field name="issued">2007-07-13 00:00:00</rhn-cert-field>  <rhn-cert-field name="expires">2018-07-13 00:00:00</rhn-cert-field>  <rhn-cert-field name="slots">20000</rhn-cert-field>  <rhn-cert-field name="monitoring-slots">20000</rhn-cert-field>  <rhn-cert-field name="provisioning-slots">20000</rhn-cert-field>  <rhn-cert-field name="virtualization_host">20000</rhn-cert-field>  <rhn-cert-field name="virtualization_host_platform">20000</rhn-cert-field>  <rhn-cert-field name="satellite-version">spacewalk</rhn-cert-field>  <rhn-cert-field name="generation">2</rhn-cert-field>  <rhn-cert-signature>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----Version: GnuPG v1

So, to conclude, if you have the opportunity to use RHN Satellite, you can do this, and add another OS's as repo. Pay attention, each server that you add in RHN Satellite, will user a Smart Management addon.
If not, don't worry, you can add rhel repo, according various older posts.
Let me know if the answer is satisfactory! :-)
Take Care

Waldirio,
I would like to probe this a little further.
Does a person have to have a "Satellite Server" in order to have a Satellite subscription?  Or, can a person get satellite subscriptions separate and use them with Spacewalk?
Thank you
Daryl

Hello Yang
One question, do you have RHEL Subscription ?!, if yes, do you have RHN Satellite subscription ?!, according the quantity of your RHEL environment, you can buy the RHN Satellite subscription to your company and add another OS as repo/channel. The difference is, using RHN Satellite you will use the redhat support, update, erratas, etc.
Check with your redhat sales person about it., you can get RHN Satellite Starter Pack (up to 50 subscriptions), the price is cool! ;-)
