How to subscribe RHN Satellite to a Cloned or EUS base channel without de-activating it as RHN Satellite ?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • How can I activate Satellite on a system with an Extended Update Support (EUS) channel (ex: RHEL 6.2.z) as its base channel?
  • If we subscribe the satellite system to an EUS channel (instead of the regular base channel), it fails with an Invalid Channel Error.
  • Our hardware support is limited by the hardware vendor to a specific RHEL update release and thus we have a requirement to subscribe to an EUS channel. But if we do so then the system cannot be activated as RHN Satellite and fails with Invalid Channel Error.

Environment

  • RHN Satellite v5.5
  • RHN Hosted
