Just so I get this straight we need to always having a running copy
subscribed to RHEL and then mirror the repo to that mahcine and then
remirror to SW? That seems like a very convoluted process. Too bad we
can't log into the repo's the way suse does. When I get around to it,
I'll see if I can figure out a better way. Thanks guys for not making
us reinvent the wheel. :)

You can follow the Jean orientation, perfect. ;-), one point is,
if you need more the one version (RHEL5, RHEL6, RHEL7 for
example), you need configure 3 VM's :-)), because your rhel
machine will be subscribed just in one base channel.
If you know how to configure multiples channel in the same OS
please share us!

Waldirio,
I do have RHEL subscriptions, but I'm not ready to set this up
just yet. I'll probably look into it more after the first of
the year, so I may ask follow up question's on how to
configure SW for RHN.
Thank you.

Happy for help. About SW support RHEL, in theory is not
supported (so this is a RHN Satellite feature), although
technically you can add. About be in compliance, since you
share rpm packages to your rhel environment, but to all RHEL's
that you have subscription, no problem. What you CANNOT do is,
you have 1 rhel subscription, use this account to download rpm
files and have 100 rhels registered in your SW receiving
packages and updates.
Ps.: I checked this with redhat a long time ago, would be
grateful if our Red Hatters friends tell us something about it.
Downloading rpm from redhat, the process is the same, you can
configure a local repo and sync them or if you download a rpm
package, you can send to channel via rhnpush.
Let me know if you have additional doubts.
Take Care

Waldirio,
Thank you for the explanation. I understand your
explanation. The reason why I'm looking at Spacewalk is
because I don't think that I can afford Satellite. I'll
look into the cost and see if it fits the budget or not.
Your final comment said that RHEL repo can also be add to
Spacewalk, but the documentation say's that SW cannot be
used with RHEL repo. Can you please point me to the older
posts that show how to add the RHEL repo?
Thanks
Daryl

Spacewalk is the RHN Satellite Project, so using Spacewalk
you don't have support, updates, etc
RHN Satellite is a enterprise product, with support,
updates, etc
When you buy the RHN Satellite Subscription, you can buy a
"full version" or started pack, full version is, if you
have 10 RHEL's, the certificate generated will come with
10 subscriptions, if you have 1k, your subscription will
come with 1k subscriptions. There are details about
unlimited guests, but we will not talk about it now.
When you install SW, you have a certificate to 20k
servers, according bellow:
###
<rhn-cert version="0.1">
<rhn-cert-field name="product">SPACEWALK-001</rhn-cert-field>
<rhn-cert-field name="owner">Spacewalk Default
Organization</rhn-cert-field>
<rhn-cert-field name="issued">2007-07-13
00:00:00</rhn-cert-field>
<rhn-cert-field name="expires">2018-07-13
00:00:00</rhn-cert-field>
<rhn-cert-field name="slots">20000</rhn-cert-field>
<rhn-cert-field name="monitoring-slots">20000</rhn-cert-field>
<rhn-cert-field
name="provisioning-slots">20000</rhn-cert-field>
<rhn-cert-field
name="virtualization_host">20000</rhn-cert-field>
<rhn-cert-field
name="virtualization_host_platform">20000</rhn-cert-field>
<rhn-cert-field
name="satellite-version">spacewalk</rhn-cert-field>
<rhn-cert-field name="generation">2</rhn-cert-field>
<rhn-cert-signature>

-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
</rhn-cert-signature>
###
So, to conclude, if you have the opportunity to use RHN
Satellite, you can do this, and add another OS's as repo.
Pay attention, each server that you add in RHN Satellite,
will user a Smart Management addon.
If not, don't worry, you can add rhel repo, according
various older posts.
Let me know if the answer is satisfactory! :-)

Waldirio,
I would like to probe this a little further.
Does a person have to have a "Satellite Server" in
order to have a Satellite subscription? Or, can a
person get satellite subscriptions separate and use
them with Spacewalk?
Thank you
Daryl

Hello Yang
One question, do you have RHEL Subscription ?!, if
yes, do you have RHN Satellite subscription ?!,
according the quantity of your RHEL environment, you
can buy the RHN Satellite subscription to your company
and add another OS as repo/channel. The difference is,
using RHN Satellite you will use the redhat support,
update, erratas, etc.
Check with your redhat sales person about it., you can
get RHN Satellite Starter Pack (up to 50
subscriptions), the price is cool! ;-)
B'Regards
