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 Spacewalk proxies that are running on Oracle
Linux 6 (x86_64) or Oracle Linux 7
(x86_64). Oracle recommends that you update
Oracle Linux with the latest packages that are available on the
Oracle Linux yum server.
Do not register a Spacewalk proxy with ULN. You can register a Spacewalk proxy as a client of itself or as a client of a Spacewalk server to receive updates.
You can install Oracle Linux 6 or Oracle Linux 7 by using the
Minimal or
Basic Server software set. If
you select additional package groups during installation, remove
the jta package before installing Spacewalk,
as this package causes Spacewalk services to fail to start.
Install Spacewalk by using only the packages provided by Oracle from the Oracle Linux yum server at https://yum.oracle.com.
No third-party package repositories are required to install Spacewalk on Oracle Linux 6 or Oracle Linux 7 . All the required packages are available in the Spacewalk repository on the Oracle Linux yum server.
