Evan,
Can you send this to me as well? This sounds exactly like what
I am trying to do.
Thanks,
Rich

Ah, I misread your email. I thought you were trying to connect 1 client machine
to multiple servers.
All that said I am currently doing exactly what you are describing. I have it
in a two stage setup. I have a box for each architecture downloading all rpms
in subscribed channels and dumping it to a central repo. An rhnpush script is
kicked off that then iterates through the reop and pushes all the deltas to
their corresponding channels. Future development will just pull down the src
rpms and rebuild in each environment. If you want I can send you the scripts
and directions for setup. I've been using it for months with no issues.

The documentation I’ve seen are mailing list/web postings of people working on
scripts to pull RHN packages to add to Spacewalk (rather than Satellite).

Configuration and management is done on clients that are registered with the
spacewalk/satellite/rhn server. I don't believe that the client supports
registering with multiple servers. I could be wrong but it seems like a
potential package nightmare. If you have seen documentation outlining this,
please post for I would be interested to read up.

Subject: RE: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk & RHEL question
So, is it impossible to run a RHEL box that gets its updates from RHN but is
configured and monitored by Spacewalk?
I have seen some different documentation on potential methods to sync the RHN
packages to Spacewalk, but feel pretty confident that this is (1) in violation
of the spirit of the Spacewalk project and (2) may invalidate the Red Hat
Support agreements that my company already has in place.
More than anything, I have yet to find another product/project with some of the
monitoring abilities of Spacewalk and would like that level of monitoring on
our RHEL servers.
Thanks.

I think (and I may be wrong) that a client can only be registered to one
spacewalk system. When I have accidentally tried to register a system that was
previously registered, an error pops up warning me to use the --force option to
re-register. The force option then unregisters my client from the original
system and registers it to the forced system. Not sure if it removes it on the
spacewalk/satellite server or just from the client config.

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk & RHEL question
Are there any gotchas I should know about when registering a RHEL server with
Spacewalk?
Is it possible to use Spacewalk for config management and monitoring and still
pull updates from RHN?
I would assume that this shouldn’t be an issue if I don’t have a RHEL channel
defined in Spacewalk and the updates should pull from RHN, but I didn’t know if
there was an issue I may run into by having the box registered to both systems.
Thanks.
