Ah okay hard to read on a mobile ;) I also have the same red star and warning... What is the OS of the host servers and the guests? CentOS or RHEL or something else? I assume I get the warning from using CentOS and my custom channels (including the fact that the CentOS channels are not 'redhat' channels) are not part of a virtualisation entitlement that would 'gift' those channels to guests under RHEL hosts. As I understand it when running RHEL virtualisation servers all guests under that server get 'free' entitlements... making it very cost efficient to run multiple RHEL servers that way... I was the one who tweaked my DB - if you want the info I can post it (it is simple data changes to one table) and it is pretty easy to script with virsh/sqlplus/spacecmd all available.... james _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
