[Spacewalk-list] Registering Offline servers to Spacewalk

[Jason Calafiore]

Hi All,
 I am trying to figure out a an easy to register servers that are already
created and offline without have to reach out to the internet to get the
necessary packages.

The only way I could do this was to do the following below by creating a
yum repo with the necessary packages and then on a client server configure
a .repo file that get the necessary packages.

Is there any easier way to do this? I would think spacewalk would have an
easy way to register clients especially offline servers. I had asked this
before and someone suggested a scripts on github, but couldn't figure it
out.

Thanks,
Jason


Create Local Repo on the spacewalk Server



mkdir /var/www/html/pub/spacewalk-client



cd /var/www/html/pub/spacewalk-client



repotrack -a x86_64 -p /var/www/html/pub/spacewalk-client rhn-client-tools
rhn-check rhn-setup rhnsd m2crypto yum-rhn-plugin



rm *i686* -f



wget
http://yum.spacewalkproject.org/2.3-client/RHEL/7/x86_64/spacewalk-client-repo-2.3-2.el7.noarch.rpm

wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm



creapterepo /var/www/html/pub/spacewalk-client





Register Server to Spacewalk



vi/etc/yum.repos.d/spacewalk-local.repo



[spacewalk-local-install-repo]

name=Spacewalk Client Install
