Hi Michael,

Thanks, everything is working well,

spacewalk-setup --external-postgresql --skip-db-population

did the trick,

P.S  I do think spacewalk how-to also should cover this kind of scenario: Migrated the spacewalk server...

Hello,

In our environment, we try to migrate a spacewalk server from rhel 6 to 7.

So:
- orig => 1xVM RHEL6  [ 1xdisk for OS + 1xdisk 300G ] for
/var/satellite/redhat;
                     OS  with spacewalk installed , using an external
postgres DB ( clustered  )
- dst  => 1xVM RHEL7 with same postgresDB from previous step
- exported vg rhn_data_vg

So, I just attached the old disk from previous machine to the new one ,
import rhn_data_vg.

Now , in order to connect to same database, what would be the next step  ?
Hello Florin,

If you have Spacewalk already installed on your RHEL7 server reconfigure it
to use the external database (db_* options in /etc/rhn/rhn.conf).
In case you are going to install it use:
         spacewalk-setup --external-postgresql --skip-db-population
and point it to the external postgresql when asked for db credentials.

...and of course don't forget about backup in case someting go wrong :).

Regards,
