The subscription-manager-migration package contains two scripts:
rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm and install-num-migrate-to-rhsm. These are
migration scripts; the first is intended to move people from Classic RHN Hosted
to Hosted Candlepin and the second is intended for people with installation
numbers on their machines to obtain the proper product certificates for the
data encoded in their instnum. While unsupported, these scripts could also be
used to migrate machines from Spacewalk to Candlepin.
If a user wanted to do this, they would need to perform a few steps. First, the
user would have to register their machine with a Spacewalk[1] instance. Then,
they would need to set up Candlepin[2], load product data, and pull down
product certificates into /usr/share/rhsm/product/16/on the system to be
migrated. The product certs can be obtained via REST calls[3]. Additionally, a
file called "channel-cert-mappings.txt" has to be created in the same
directory, and filled out in the following format:
spacewalk-channel-name1: product-cert1-filename.pem
spacewalk-channel-name2: product-cert1-filename.pem
spacewalk-channel-name3: product-cert2-filename.pem
Once that is complete, the user can run "rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm" and
migrate from Spacewalk to Candlepin. Note that for now, the two usernames and
passwords must be identical. This will be corrected in later versions of the
migration script.
