spacewalk-create-channel command fails with "Error: data file 'X-uY-server-x86_64' does not exist"
Issue
- While creating a custom channel using spacewalk-create-channel it fails with -
/usr/bin/spacewalk-create-channel --server=satellite.example.com --user=username --password=password --version=5 --release=Server --arch=x86_64 --update=U8 --destChannel=custom-5u8-test --clone --name="Dev 5u8 Test"
Error: data file '5-u8-server-x86_64' does not exist
However, while specifying --update=U6
the command succeeds. Is there something missing currently that is required to create a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5u8 channel?
- Is it possible to execute spacewalk-create-channel command from remote system and change the --server option to point to satellite server ?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- Red Hat Satellite v 5.4
