Spacewalk is an open source Linux systems management solution.Spacewalk is the upstream community project from which the Red Hat Satellite product is derived.
Differences between Spacewalk and Red Hat Satellite:
What Can Spacewalk Do?
- Inventory your systems (hardware and software information) - Install and update software on your systems
- Collect and distribute your custom software packages into manageable groups
- Provision (kickstart) your systems
- Manage and deploy configuration files to your systems
- Monitor your systems
- Provision and start/stop/configure virtual guests
- Distribute content across multiple geographical sites in an efficient manner.
Prerequisites:
- Outbound open ports 80, 443, 4545 (only if you want to enable monitoring)
- Inbound open ports 80, 443, 5222 (only if you want to push actions to client machines) and 5269 (only for push actions to a Spacewalk Proxy), 69 udp if you want to use tftp
- Storage for database: 250 KiB per client system + 500 KiB per channel + 230 KiB per package in -channel (i.e. 1.1GiB for channel with 5000 packages)
- Storage for packages (default /var/satellite): Depends on what you're storing; Red Hat recommend 6GB per channel for their channels
- 2GB RAM minimum, 4GB recommended
- Make sure your underlying OS is fully up-to-date.
Jpackage repository:
For Spacewalk on EL 6, a couple of additional dependencies are needed from jpackage configure the following yum repository before beginning your Spacewalk installation.
Spacewalk requires a Java Virtual Machine with version 1.6.0 or greater. EPEL - Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux contains a version of the openjdk that works with Spacewalk. Other dependencies can get installed from EPEL as well. To get packages from EPEL just install this RPM:
