Hi,

You need an active CSI and ULN access to synchronise the Base/Patch channels. I don't recommend combining them into a single channel. Rather, you link a parent OL5U11 channel to the ol5_u11_base channel on ULN and then create a child ol5_u11_patch channel.

This is discussing in the Concepts and Getting Started Guide for Spacewalk provided by Oracle:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37670_01/E71709/html/swk24-lwg_dmy_x5.html <http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37670_01/E71709/html/swk24-lwg_dmy_x5.html>

You can use System Groups and the System Set Manager to change the channel registration of multiple servers in a single action.

Thanks,
Avi

P.S. note that it's Oracle Linux or OL. We haven't had the word "enterprise" in the name since 2010. :)
