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.
6.4.6. 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be especially useful in finding and removing outdated System Profiles.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 6.4.2
Systems
.
6.4.7. Activation Keys —
RHN Management and Provisioning customers with the Activation Key Administrator role (including
Organization Administrators) can generate 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 specific 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.
6.4.7.1. Managing Activation Keys
To generate an activation key:
1. Select
Systems
=>
Activation Keys
from the top and left navigation bars.
2. Click the
create new key
link at the top-left corner.
Warning
In addition to the fields listed below, RHN Satellite Server customers may also populate the
Key
field itself. This user-defined string of characters can then be supplied with
rhnreg_ks
to
register client systems with the Satellite. Only numbers, letters, hyphens, and underscores may
be included in the key. All other characters are prohibited. Commas are especially problematic
as they are the separator used when including two or more activation keys at once. Refer to
Section 6.4.7.2
Using Multiple Activation Keys at Once —
for details.
