Migrating Systems From One Trusted Organization To Another - Red Hat NETWORK SATELLITE 5.3.0 Reference Manual

• Private — Make the channel private so that it cannot be accessed by any organizations except
the channel's owner.
• Protected — Allow the channel to be accessed by specific trusted organizations of your choice.
Note
Choosing Protected sharing displays a separate page that prompts you to confirm
that you are granting channel access to the organizations by clicking Grant Access
and Confirm.
• Public — Allow all organizations within the trust to access the custom channel.
Click the radio button next to your selection and click Update Channel.
Now, any other Organization Administrators within the trust for which you have granted access to your
custom channel can allow their client systems to install and update packages from the shared channel.
Note
If you have a system subscribed to a shared channel, and the organizational administrator
of the shared channel changes access rights to the channel, then the system loses that
channel. If he changes a base channel right, then the system will have no base channel
on the Systems page and will not receive updates.

9.6.3. Migrating Systems from One Trusted Organization to Another

In addition to sharing software channels, organizations in a trust can migrate systems to other trusted
organizations by using a utility called migrate-system-profile.
migrate-system-profile usage is based on the command-line, and uses systemIDs and orgIDs
as arguments to specify what what is being moved and its destination organization.
To use the migrate-system-profile command, you must have the spacewalk-backend-
tools package installed. You do not need to be logged into the Satellite server to use migrate-
system-profile; however, if you do not you will need specify the hostname or IP address of the
server as a command-line switch.
Note
When an organization migrates a system with the migrate-system-profile
command, the system does not carry any of the previous entitlements or channel
subscriptions from the source organization. However, the system's history is preserved,
and can be accessed by the new Organization Administrator in order to simplify the rest
of the migration process, which includes subscribing to a base channels and granting
entitlements.
