[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk and RHEL client support

[Boyd, Robert]

I’ve had the impression from the past that the people on the list who work for Red Hat were not free to discuss it directly.  I also had the impression that there was some kind of preference to not have it out in the open on the list.

Since I’m not an employee of Red Hat, I don’t have the first concern.   I’m not sure what the position of the list owner(s) is on the topic.

If others think it would be okay for us to discuss this openly, I’ll be happy to post the steps involved in setting up feeds from the cdn.redhat.com distributions.   In order to use them you have to already have a valid subscription.   So it won’t involve anything other than using things you’re already licensed for.

Would those who manage our list please provide some feedback as to what they think of me posting the exact steps to follow? It’s pretty straightforward when you know what to do.   From personal experience, it’s not so straightforward figuring it out the first time, even with coaching.

Robert

Hello,

why do you want to discuss these things off-list?

It is also important/good to know for me and others, I think.


kind regards,
Philipp

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
