9.6.3.1. Using
migrate-system-profile
Using
migrate-system-profile
is straightforward. You need to ascertain the ID of the system to
be migrated, the ID of the organization the system will migrate to, and the hostname or IP address of
the Satellite server if you are running the command from another machine.
The usage from the command line is the following:
migrate-system-profile --satellite {SATELLITE HOSTNAME OR IP} --
systemId= {SYSTEM ID} --to-org-id= {DESTINATION ORGANIZATION ID}
For example, if the Finance department (created as an organization in RHN Satellite with OrgID 2)
wants to migrate a workstation (with SystemID 10001020) from the Engineering department, but the
Finance Organization Administrator does not have shell access to the RHN Satellite server. The RHN
Satellite hostname is
satserver.example.com
.
The Finance Organization Administrator would type the following from a shell prompt:
migrate-system-profile --satellite satserver.example.com --
systemId=10001020 --to-org-id=2
The Finance Organization Administrator is then prompted for their username and password (unless
they specified it using
--username=
and
--password=
at the command-line).
The Finance Organization Administrator would then be able to see the system from the
Systems
page
when logged into the RHN Satellite web interface. The Finance Organization Administrator can then
finish the migration process by assigning a base channel and granting entitlements to the client as he
would any other system registered to his organization, which is avaiable from the system's
History
page in the
Events
subtab.
