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 only):
oraclelinux7(base channel)oraclelinux7-addonsoraclelinux7-mysql55oraclelinux7-mysql56oraclelinux7-mysql57oraclelinux7-openstack20oraclelinux7-optionaloraclelinux7-scl12oraclelinux7-spacewalk22-clientoraclelinux7-spacewalk24-clientoraclelinux7-spacewalk24-serveroraclelinux7-uek-r3oraclelinux7-uek-r4For Oracle Linux 6 (i386 and x86_64 unless specified otherwise):

oraclelinux5(base channel)oraclelinux5-addonsoraclelinux5-oracle-addonsoraclelinux5-spacewalk22-clientoraclelinux5-spacewalk24-clientoraclelinux5-uekoraclelinux5-unsupported
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*'
For full usage information, use the spacewalk-common-channels -h command.
