Red Hat NETWORK SATELLITE 5.1.0 - CHANNEL MANAGEMENT, Reference Manual

Page: 148 / 300

Note
A sandbox icon indicates that the listed file is currently located in a local sandbox
channel. Files in a system's sandbox channel are considered experimental and
could be unstable. Use caution when selecting them for a central configuration
channel.
Create File
From this page you can create a configuration file from scratch to be included in the
configuration channel. Indicate the absolute path along which the file should be deployed,
enter the ownership and permissions for the file, and enter the configuration file content in
the appropriate fields. Finally, press the Create Configuration File button to create the new
file.
Deploy Files
This sub-tab only appears when there are files present in the channel. You can deploy all
files by pressing the Deploy All Files button, or you can check selected files and press the
Deploy Selected Files button. You will then be asked to select to which systems the file(s)
should be applied. The listed systems are those that are subscribed to this channel. If you
wish to apply the file to a system not listed here, first subscribe that system to the channel.
When ready, press the Confirm and Deploy to Selected Systems button to deploy the
files.
Systems
This tab, which consists of two sub-tabs, allows you to manage the systems that are
subscribed to the configuration channel.
Subscribed Systems
This sub-tab displays a list of all systems that are subscribed to the current channel.
Clicking on the name of the system takes you to the System Details page for that system.
Target Systems
This sub-tab displays a list of systems that have been enabled for configuration
management and that are not yet subscribed to the channel. To add a system to the
configuration channel, check the box to the left of the system's name and press the
Subscribe System button.
7.4. Configuration Files
This tab allows you to manage your configuration files independently. Both centrally-managed
and locally-managed files can be reached from sub-tabs.
