Clone channels and use a cloned channel

RHN Satellite Server Channel Administrators also have the ability to clone software channels for
easy package association. Cloning offers you a complete replica of another channel, enabling you to
immediately associate appropriate packages and errata with a custom software channel. To access
this functionality, click the Channels tab on the top navigation bar, then the Manage Software
Channels on the left navigation bar. This takes you to the Software Channel Management page. To
begin cloning, click clone channel at the top-right corner.
You are immediately presented with three cloning options: current state of the channel, original state
of the channel, or select errata. These options are described fully on the webpage itself but are
summarized as:
• Current state of the channel — All of the errata and all of the latest packages now in the target
channel.
