The installation procedures for RHN Satellite and Spacewalk are a little bit different. In Satellite, you download the ISO (either with the embedded database or external database), and there is an installer script that takes care of everything for you, from installing the packages, setting up the database, generating the CA, etc. The installation of Spacewalk is significantly more manual (though still very doable) > After a lot ot problems with the PGP keys, packages installations and more, > finally I installed spacewalk (yuju!!!!).

With Spacewalk, you're fully responsible for creating all of your custom content, pushing content into channels, etc. With Satellite, if you're running a connected Satellite, you simply type 'satellite-sync --list-channels' and it will connect to RHN and show you the channels that you are entitled to. Then you type 'satellite-sync -c <channel labels>' and it will start pulling down all of that content from RHN hosted. > I dont know if I must create a Channel, if I nedd a certificate - in the > FAQ say that spacewalk use a certificate, but it say that spacewalk not use > it -..... Yes, in Spacewalk you need to create channels. In Satellite, the channel creation of Red Hat channels will be taken care of by the commands that I listed above, however, you will still need to create whatever custom channels you require and push content to them using rhnpush. As for the certificate, both use an entitlement certificate, the difference is where you get it. For Satellite, you'll have to get one from Red Hat customer service, it specifies what channel entitlements you have and how many, as well as any add-on entitlements that you may have purchased (provisioning, monitoring). A cert comes by default in Spacewalk, containing 20,000 entitlements for everything (and instructions on how to generate one for more if you need). I hope that helped. _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
