[Spacewalk-list] registering servers with spacewalk

[William H. ten Bensel]

Instead of re-registering each server remotely.  Could you just switch 
their base channels or add/remove child channels from the spacewalk 
itself?

BASE:
spacecmd -q -s  myspacewalk.domain.com softwarechannel_listbasechannels
spacecmd -q -s myspacewalk.domain.com system_listbasechannel $myserver
spacecmd -q -s myspacewalk.domain.com system_setbasechannel $myserver 
$mynewbase   (add -y to not prompt you)

If you want to do this in BULK... ALL servers in a channel
spacecmd -q -s myspacewalk.domain.com system_setbasechannel 
channel:$myoldbase $mynewbase (add -y to not prompt you)
CHILD: 
softwarechannel_listchildchannels
system_listchildchannels
system_addchildchannels
system_removechildchannels
If you want to do this in BULK... ALL servers in a channel
spacecmd -q -s myspacewalk.domain.com system_addchildchannels 
channel:$myoldchannel $mynewchannel (add -y to not prompt you)
spacecmd -q -s myspacewalk.domain.com system_removechildchannels 
channel:$mynewchannel $myoldchannel (add -y to not prompt you)

Thanks and good luck

I'm trying to set up a system where I can use remote command scripts from 
spacewalk to update registration of my servers.  For instance, I have all 
my servers registered to a set of channels that are frozen from october 
2016.  I want to update them all to use a set of channels frozen from 
March 2017.  I can do this by sending a remote command from spacewalk with 
the new activation key and using --force flag - but this creates a new 
registration in spacewalk.  The old one is still there.  Does anyone know 
of a good way to do a group update to a new activation key without needing 
to go back afterward and delete the registrations with the old key?
