Oracle Linux channels can be configured using the
spacewalk-common-channels tool provided in
the spacewalk-utils package. This tool can
automatically configure the required software channels, Oracle
Linux yum server repositories, GPG keys, and activation keys
for Oracle Linux.
The following channels can be created using the spacewalk-common-channels command:
For Oracle Linux 7 (x86_64):
oraclelinux7 (base channel)
oraclelinux7-optional
oraclelinux7-addons
oraclelinux7-uek-r3
oraclelinux7-mysql55
oraclelinux7-mysql56
oraclelinux7-spacewalk22-client
For Oracle Linux 6 (i386 and x86_64):
oraclelinux6 (base channel)
oraclelinux6-addons
oraclelinux6-uek
oraclelinux6-uek-r3
oraclelinux6-mysql
oraclelinux6-playground
oraclelinux6-spacewalk20-client
oraclelinux6-spacewalk20-server
oraclelinux6-spacewalk22-client
oraclelinux6-spacewalk22-server
For Oracle Linux 5 (i386 and x86_64):
oraclelinux5 (base channel)
oraclelinux5-addons
oraclelinux5-oracle-addons
oraclelinux5-unsupported
oraclelinux5-uek
oraclelinux5-spacewalk20-client
oraclelinux5-spacewalk22-client
For example, to create all the 32-bit and 64-bit software
channels for Oracle Linux 6, install the
spacewalk-utils package and then run the
spacewalk-common-channels tool, as follows:
#yum install spacewalk-utils#spacewalk-common-channels -v -uswadmin-ppassword-a i386,x86_64 -k unlimited ‘oraclelinux6*’
Use the spacewalk-common-channels -h command to see full usage information.
