Chapter 4. Red Hat Network Website
The
System Entitlements
page allows you to view and promote the entitlements for your registered
systems. Only increases in entitlement levels are allowed. Systems cannot be re-entitled to a lower
entitlement level. For instance, a system entitled to the Update service level can be promoted to the
Management level, but this action cannot be reversed.
To change an individual entitlement, select the entitlement from the system’s pulldown menu and
click the
Update Entitlements
button on the bottom right-hand corner of the page. Click the name of
a system to see details about it. If no drop-down menu exists for your Update-level system, you may
need to purchase a Management entitlement. Do this through the
Buy Now
page under
Your RHN
.
Warning
Changing a system’s entitlement is an irreversible action. You may be unable to change the entitle-
ment levels of some systems. For more information, refer to the RHN entitlement policy linked from
the
System Entitlements
page.
In addition, you may entitle all newly registered systems to the Managements service level at once
by clicking the
Auto-Entitle Newest Servers Now
link at the bottom of the page. To use this link,
which appears only when new, unentitled systems exist, first make sure you have enough Management
entitlements available. If you need to purchase additional entitlements, click the
Buy them now
link
at the top of the page. After auto-entitling, a message appears at the top of the
System Entitlements
page indicating the number of systems successfully entitled to the Management service level.
4.4.6. Advanced Search
The
System Search
page allows you to search through your systems according to specific criteria.
These criteria include custom system information, system details, hardware, devices, interface, net-
working, packages, and location. The activity selections (Days Since Last Checkin, for instance) can
be especially useful in finding and removing outdated System Profiles. Type the keyword, select the
criterion to search by, use the radio buttons to identify whether you wish to query all systems or only
those loaded in the
System Set Manager
, and click the
Search
button. Yo may also select the
Invert
Result
checkbox to reverse your results list.
The results appear at the bottom of the page. For details about using the resulting system list, refer to
Section 4.4.2
Systems
.
4.4.7. Activation Keys
RHN Management and Provisioning customers with the Activation Key Administrator role can gen-
erate activation keys through the RHN website. These keys can then be used to register the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux system, entitle the system to an RHN service level and subscribe the system to spe-
cific channels and system groups through the command line utility
rhnreg_ks
. Refer to Section 2.5
Registering with Activation Keys
for instructions on use.
Note
System-specific activation keys created through the
Reactivation
subtab of the
System Details
page
do not show up in this list because they are not reusable across systems.
