[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk & RHEL question

[Wojtak, Greg]

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think you are invalidating Red Hat Support agreements as  long as you are not deploying Red Hat Errata that you've synced to more servers than you've purchased entitlements to.

So, is it impossible to run a RHEL box that gets its updates from RHN but is configured and monitored by Spacewalk?
I have seen some different documentation on potential methods to sync the RHN packages to Spacewalk, but feel pretty confident that this is (1) in violation of the spirit of the Spacewalk project and (2) may invalidate the Red Hat Support agreements that my company already has in place.

More than anything, I have yet to find another product/project with some of the monitoring abilities of Spacewalk and would like that level of monitoring on our RHEL servers.

Thanks.

I think (and I may be wrong) that a client can only be registered to one spacewalk system.  When I have accidentally tried to register a system that was previously registered, an error pops up warning me to use the --force option to re-register.  The force option then unregisters my client from the original system and registers it to the forced system.  Not sure if it removes it on the spacewalk/satellite server or just from the client config.

Are there any gotchas I should know about when registering a RHEL server with Spacewalk?
Is it possible to use Spacewalk for config management and monitoring and still pull updates from RHN?

I would assume that this shouldn't be an issue if I don't have a RHEL channel defined in Spacewalk and the updates should pull from RHN, but I didn't know if there was an issue I may run into by having the box registered to both systems.

Thanks.
