Hello Colin Coe,
Thanks for your answers. I have configured the channels clients
spacewalk and EPEL. I'll try use mrepo and rhnpush.
Thanks!

Assunto: Re: [Spacewalk-list] Configuring channels Red Hat
Basic procedure:
1) Create the base channels for each arch.
2) Create the child channels for each arch. There should be at least
the Spacewalk client channel, but you may also want EPEL and others.
These cannot be exactly the same name and label as what is in RHN
Hosted or RHN Satellite. This Perl script might help (untested). The
perl-Frontier-RPC package needs to be installed first.

15 $client->call("channel.software.create",
16 $session,
17 "el-i386-server-5", # Label
18 "Enterprise Linux (v. 5 for i386)", # Name
19 "Enterprise Linux (v. 5 for i386)", # Summary
20 "channel-i386", # Arch label
21 ""); # Parent channel
22 $client->call("channel.software.create",
23 $session,
24 "sw-client-1.0-i386 ", # Label
25 "Spacewalk Client 1.0 i386", # Name
26 "Spacewalk Client 1.0 i386", # Summary
27 "channel-i386", # Parent channel
28 "el-i386-server-5") # Parent channel;

3). Sync the RedHat channel content. mrepo can do this although it is
not intuitive.
4). Use rhnpush to push the sync'ed content into Spacewalk, mrepo will
download the packages but then they need to get into Spacewalk.
5). Consider using rhn-clone-errata.py to sync errata. Very useful.
Notes:
- If you are planning on using oracle-xe realise that you may hit the
4GB data limit.
- Spacewalk is not a mechanism to bypass RedHat subscription limits.
