[Spacewalk-list] RedHat Subscriptions Management deploying Spacewalk

Wed Mar 8 10:08:57 UTC 2017

Thank you Waldirio,
when I say “I’ve the subscriptions for all my RedHat hosts” I mean that I’ve signed a contract with RedHat in order to be able to register on RHN/RHMS all the RHEL hosts I provision on my own infrastructure. Nowadays, not all of those hosts are registered, but the Spacewalk deployment has been planned to avoid the hosts to go massively on Internet to download updates. Thus, I’m going to register these hosts on Spacewalk.

From you response I see that technically it’s possible to manage RedHat hosts via Spacewalk, even if some scripts are needed, but my doubt is about the management of entitlements. There are two scenario but I don’t know which is actually the behavior. I’m trying to figure out here a recap looking for a confirmation:

-         Without Spacewalk, on my RedHat account I can see all the hosts registered on RHN belonging to that account. They are supported by RedHat under the SLA described in the contract service, aren’t they?

-         With Spacewalk (deployed on a RedHat registered host), will I see only the Spacewalk server registered on my RedHat Account?How can I manage all other hosts?Are they under the RedHat support as without the Spacewalk deployment?

Regards,
Rosario

Hello Rosario, good morning

Well, you can do this configuration for your environment btw I would like to share some points with you. Using SW you can register your RHEL clients and manage everything although will be necessary sync the rpm packages / repositories from Red Hat and add this one on your Satellite. There are some scripts to do this action or you could create your own scripts, I believe you can find on our history.

Once you said *I’ve the subscriptions for all my RedHat hosts* I believe you have *smart management addon* to all your RHEL servers, that's correct ? If yes, I really recommend you align with your red hat sales just to check the Satellite subscription. Why ? the answer is simple, using Satellite, there are a lot of steps that satellite will do for you, like sync red hat repos and erratas will be *automatically* without necessity to do manually, when talking about SW, you can do this but will be necessary implement some or some time a lot of scripts / execute some steps manually.

I wrote one book about SW and there you can find some points about your questions *http://www.brasport.com.br/informatica-e-tecnologia/linux/spacewalk-o-projeto-do-red-hat-satellite/*<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.brasport.com.br_informatica-2De-2Dtecnologia_linux_spacewalk-2Do-2Dprojeto-2Ddo-2Dred-2Dhat-2Dsatellite_-2A&d=DwMFaQ&c=eIGjsITfXP_y-DLLX0uEHXJvU8nOHrUK8IrwNKOtkVU&r=IwCprbXurW_UyKCkbPR-2-kq6Zxded3znI-lOKTtI9g&m=Ud6BE2AbsluXlf6BI-dZAu5txnBGdIurSPSU14jUwIs&s=J9b8Mem9pXp_r9rOcKVUg3ADyh0nqt77yUvSEj6wjfo&e=>, in one month or less will be available the English version.

Let me know if you have any additional question about it.

Hi,
I’m trying to configure a Spacewalk server to manage RedHat hosts. I’ve the subscriptions for all my RedHat hosts, but I don’t know how I can manage the subscriptions once all the hosts will be registered on the Spacewalk server rather than the RHN/RHMS. Could someone give me further details on this? I don’t know if a Satellite subscription is mandatory, even because I’ll use Spacewalk to manage other Linux distributions too, such as CentOS, SLES, Debian.

Best regards,
Rosario
