[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk and RHEL client support

[Boyd, Robert]

There is a better way in the more recent releases of Spacewalk.   You can cut out the mrepo middleman and the wasted storage/cpu time.   I'll be glad to discuss the details off-list.  If you have at least one system that is registered directly to Red Hat Network it is possible to get all the pieces you need to set things up fairly easily.    Send me a direct email and I'll outline what you need to do.

Robert is correct, it certainly is possible.  I do it for my RHEL 5 systems from a CentOS 6 SW server.  I use mrepo to clone the RHN channels, but if there's a better option I'm all ears.

Thanks,
Alex

Georg,

The answer is yes -- you'll have to set up feeds for the RHEL channels.   If you like I can coach you through the process off list.

Hi List

I have a spacewalk 2.4 server running on CentOS 7.2 which i like to add RHEL servers (version 5,6).

The RHEL systems are currently added to the "Red Hat Subscription Management" as individual systems.

I searched webpage and mailing list for information on how to achieve that but i am missing clear information here.

Is it technically possible to have spacewalk running on centos support rhel clients?
If yes, how is the process to add channels and clients?

Thanks for any help
