Description of problem: Unlike the other variants of RHEL6, the ComputeNode variant does not include its name in the channel name. As a result spacewalk-create-channel fails to guess channel name based on the variant. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spacewalk-remote-utils-1.0.2-7.el6sat.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. satellite-sync -c rhel-x86_64-hpc-node-6 2. spacewalk-create-channel \ --server=FQDN --user=admin --password=subtle \ --version=6 --update=u1 --arch=x86_64 --release=ComputeNode \ --destChannel=sw_create_channel_29938 3. Actual results: You have not specified a source channel, we will try to determine it from inputs Trying with source channel: rhel-x86_64-computenode-6 Error: Source Channel 'rhel-x86_64-computenode-6' could not be found. Expected results: You have not specified a source channel, we will try to determine it from inputs Trying with source channel: rhel-x86_64-hpc-node-6 .... Additional info: For the Server variant there is a rhel-x86_64-server-6 channel, for the Client variant there is a rhel-x86_64-client-6, finally for Workstation variant there is a rhel-x86_64-workstation-6. What a pity is that for ComputeNode variant there is not rhel-x86_64-computenode-6 but rhel-x86_64-hpc-node-6.
