Session History
— Displays particular points in a kickstart session’s progress. Like
Session
Status
, this subtab appears only if you’ve scheduled a kickstart. It lists individual actions, such as
package installs, as they occur. Click the name of an action to see information about it, including
summary, details, and time. Failed kickstarts are shown here, as well. To force this page to reload
at a set interval, select one from the pulldown menu and click the
Change Reload Time
button.
•
Schedule
— Allows the kickstarting of the selected system. To schedule a kickstart, select a
distribution, identify the type (IP address or manual selection of kickstart profile), and click
Continue
. Note that IP address kickstarts require ranges to be defined in kickstart profiles.
On the next page, finish choosing from the options available. Using the existing RHN profile will
rely upon the system-specific activation key created within the
Reactivation
tab to reregister the
system.
Do not regenerate, delete, or use this key while a profile-based kickstart is in progress.
Selecting the
Deploy Configuration
checkbox will re-install configuration files from any config
channels associated with the system. When finished, click the
Schedule Kickstart
button.
Caution
It is imperative the kickstart profile selected match the installation files supplied. For instance, it
is possible a given IP address could be associated with a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 kickstart
profile, but you insert an IP address kickstart CD-ROM built for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. This
would result in errors and cause the kickstart to fail.
•
