Hi Abhishek,

Using spacewalk-channe or rhn-channel command we can remove/unsubscribe only child channels , base channel can not be removed from system using spacewalk-channe or rhn-channel command.

You can use API available with satellite to set new base channel to system from CLI

# spacewalk-api --server=satellite.example.com system.setBaseChannel "%session%" 1000045176  rhel-x86_64-server-6

This will remove base channel and set new one which is passed as parameter.

Ashish

Thnak you Ashish for your information.

The reason why I was searching some commands by which I can add or remove base channe is;then I can put those comments in a file and run to perform the entire PCI patching process from command line only;
No need to add or remove channels from RHN UI.

Regards,
Abhishek

Abhishek - can you execute the scripts on the Satellite Server (rather than from the client)? You should still be able to script this entire process.

I will be working on scripting this sort of activity soon as part of our patching process. I can update this thread once I have figured out what I need to do. I will likely be doing all of the work from the Satellite itself.
