I think it's mandatory to use different rhel server for each rhel version 5, 6, 7, and don't forget for rhel 5 and 6 that could be 32bit or 64bit... but if you have a virtualization infrastructure you can create VMs for each version with poor resources, the only problems is the space for storing all rpms Best Regards Amedeo Salvati

I have read that Spacewalk can manage several different distro's such as Ubuntu and SLES. I am interested in this but also I am interested in serving RHEL x86_64 v5 and v6. Could you tell me if Spacewalk can do that out of the box or does it require some tweaks or changes? > > > > Hello Jason, > > > > Spacewalk is able to manage RHEL systems without any modification. > > > > On the other hand you need to sync RHEL content to Spacewalk server first. > > To be able to sync that content directly from rhn.redhat.com you need a certificate; this cert is a part of Red Hat Satellite subscription. > > > > % Thank you, > > % Jason > > > > Regards, > > > > -- > > Michael Mráka > > Satellite Engineering, Red Hat > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Spacewalk-list mailing list > > [12][email protected] > > [13]https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Spacewalk-list mailing list > > [14][email protected] > > [15]https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Spacewalk-list mailing list > > [16][email protected] > > [17]https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
