On either of the Spacewalk servers, run the spacewalk-sync-setup command:

# spacewalk-sync-setup --apply --create-templates \
  --ms=master_swksvr_FQDN --ml=master_swadm --mp=master_swadm_passwd \
  --ss=slave_swksvr_FQDN --sl=slave_swadm --sp=slave_swadm_passwd

master_swksvr_FQDN is the fully qualified domain name of the Spacewalk server that will act as the master server. master_swadm and master_swadm_passwd are the Spacewalk administrator's user name and password for that server.

slave_swksvr_FQDN is the fully qualified domain name of the Spacewalk server that will act as the slave server. slave_swadm and slave_swadm_passwd are the Spacewalk administrator's user name and password for that server.

The following example shows typical output from running this command:

# spacewalk-sync-setup --apply --create-templates \
  --ms=swksvr.mydom.com --ml=swadm --mp=swpass \
  --ss=swksvr2.mydom.com --sl=swadm2 --sp=swpass2

A copy of the master's CA certificate is stored on the slave as /usr/share/rhn/swksvr.mydom.com_RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT.

You can now map local organizations on the slave server to organizations that the master server exports. See Section 4.5, “Mapping a Local Organization to an Exported Organization Using the Spacewalk Web Interface”.
