Migrate hosts from Spacewalk to Satellite
Hi,
that's the firts time I've setup a new Satellite server. We have a spacewalk installation (managed by a former colleague) and now I'd like to migrate all our RHEL hosts to Satellite.
I performed installation and tried to add only one host and it works. I was reading about Bootstrap script but it needs a host group before run python script.
Anyone has experience with this task?
Regards,
Fabio

If you are migrating/registering a system for content-only, you are not required to use a hostgroup with bootstrap.py
The --skip foreman option is explicitly created for this. When it is used, the only options required are
- servername (-s)
- organization (-o)
- activation key (-a)
Example follows:
./bootstrap.py -s satellite.example.com \
-o Example \
-a ak_Reg_To_Dev_EL7 \
--enablerepos=rhel-7-server-satellite-tools-6.3-rpms \
--skip-foreman
As you are making the transition from Satellite 5 to Satellite 6, I suggest you refer to the documentation available at Product Documentation for Red Hat Satellite 6.3, specifically the "Transitioning from Red Hat Satellite 5 to Red Hat Satellite 6" section. The Transition Guide describes the workflows and procedures required to transition managed hosts from Satellite 5 to Satellite 6.
Please ask if you have any further questions.
