Troubleshooting Registering a traditional client as Salt minion after deleting it

This is not a valid scenario. Normally you migrate a traditional client to a Salt minion without deleting the client. Salt automatically detects that you have a traditional client and does the necessary changes itself. But if you somehow deleted the traditional client and want to register it as a Salt minion again, you have to do the following steps on the client before registering it as Salt minion:

  1. Remove the following file:

    /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid
  2. Remove the following package:

    zypp-plugin-spacewalk
