The software described in this documentation is either no longer supported or is in extended support.
Oracle recommends that you upgrade to a current supported release.
Oracle supports the provisioning of Oracle Linux servers as Spacewalk client systems. You can use Spacewalk to manage Fedora-based clients and other systems by using upstream client binaries and repositories but Oracle does not provide support for these clients.
Oracle provides Spacewalk client packages for Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Linux 6 for both i386 and x86_64 architectures. For Oracle Linux 7, packages for the x86_64 architecture only are provided.
If you configure a Spacewalk server to mirror the Spacewalk Client 2.4 channel provided on the Oracle Linux yum server and enable this channel for a kickstart profile, Spacewalk automatically installs the Spacewalk Client software on any Oracle Linux server that it provisions and it registers this server as a Spacewalk client. You can use the spacewalk-common-channels command to configure the Spacewalk Client 2.4 channel as described in Section 2.3, “Configuring Software Channels to Obtain Packages from the Oracle Linux Yum Server”.
