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 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-addons
oraclelinux7-mysql55
oraclelinux7-mysql56
oraclelinux7-mysql57
oraclelinux7-openstack20
oraclelinux7-optional
oraclelinux7-scl12
oraclelinux7-spacewalk22-client
oraclelinux7-spacewalk24-client
oraclelinux7-spacewalk24-server
oraclelinux7-uek-r3
oraclelinux7-uek-r4
For Oracle Linux 6 (i386 and x86_64 unless specified otherwise):
oraclelinux6
(base channel)oraclelinux6-addons
oraclelinux6-mysql56
oraclelinux6-mysql57
oraclelinux6-playground
(x86_64 only)oraclelinux6-scl12
(x86_64 only)oraclelinux6-spacewalk22-client
oraclelinux6-spacewalk22-server
(x86_64 only)oraclelinux6-spacewalk24-client
oraclelinux6-spacewalk24-server
(x86_64 only)oraclelinux6-uek
oraclelinux6-uek-r3
oraclelinux6-uek-r4
For Oracle Linux 5 (i386 and x86_64):
oraclelinux5
(base channel)oraclelinux5-addons
oraclelinux5-oracle-addons
oraclelinux5-spacewalk22-client
oraclelinux5-spacewalk24-client
oraclelinux5-uek
oraclelinux5-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 -u
swadmin
-ppassword
-a i386,x86_64 -k unlimited 'oraclelinux6*'
For full usage information, use the spacewalk-common-channels -h command.
