Procedure: Adding Software Channels at the Command Prompt

  1. At the command prompt on the SUSE Multi-Linux Manager container host, as root, add the appropriate channels:

    mgrctl exec -ti -- spacewalk-common-channels \
<base_channel_label> \
<child_channel_label_1> \
<child_channel_label_2> \
... <child_channel_label_n>

    To list all available repositories, execute the command:

    mgrctl exec -ti -- spacewalk-common-channels -l

  2. If automatic synchronization is turned off, synchronize the channels:

    mgrctl exec -ti -- spacewalk-repo-sync -p <base_channel_label>

  3. Ensure the synchronization is complete before continuing.
