Here's how I manage opensuse, hopefully this helps. This is an answer to
similar question a while back.
Hi Chuck,
I use Spacewalk to manage a couple of opensuse 12.1 machines.
Here's what I've got setup, using 32bit as the example:
Parent Channel:
Channel Name: opensuse12.1-i586
Channel Label: opensuse12.1-32bit
Parent Channel: (none)
Yum Repository Checksum Type: sha1
Architecture: IA-32
Update channel (note: I have two child channels, just showing the update
channel here):
Channel Name: opensuse12.1-i586-updates
Channel Label: opensuse12.1-32bit-updates
Parent Channel: opensuse12.1-i586
Yum Repository Checksum Type: sha1
Architecture: IA-32
Summary: opensuse12.1 32bit update channel
Repo for the update channel:
Repo label: opensuse12.1-32bit-updates-repo
Repo URL:
http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.1/
To sync the channel, I created a script that I schedule via cron:
[root@taeps001 ~]# cat /usr/local/bin/sync-opensuse12-32.sh
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync --channel opensuse12.1-32bit-updates --type
yum
When the sync runs, I get a log of messages that look like this:
Package arch x86_64 incompatible with channel opensuse12.1-32bit-updates
You need not worry about them, opensuse places both i586 and x86_64 rpms
in the same remote repository. Spacewalk will receive them, but since I'm
are trying to sync a 32 bit channel (ia-32), the x86_64 packages just
exist in "limbo".
Going to "Manage Software Packages" and in the Channel field,
select "packages with no channels", the x86_64 packages will display.
If you create an opensuse x86_64 channel and run a sync, these "limbo"
packages get pushed into the x86_64 channel. At least, that what it
appears to do.
On the opensuse machine, I just followed these procedures:
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/RegisteringClients.
The machines don't have internet access, so I manually downloaded the
spacewalk-client packages and installed them.
The opensuse client packages can be found here:
baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/spacewalk:/1.7/openSUSE_12.1/
Hope this helps.
Alan

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Register Suse Systems
Can someone point me to instructions on how to configure a suse system to
use spacewalk?
Thanks Alan,
How do you set the suse system to use spacewalk for update? I was able to
get the suse system to register with spacewalk server. but if I bring up
yast it complains about update repo not being defined?
