To force the install to take place immediately, you may run the
rhn_check

guest system.
3.4. Installing Software Via Yum From the Virtual System
Your virtual system registered to your Satellite as part of the guest provisioning process, so you
may simply use the
yum
command to install and update software. For example, to install the text
editor vim, issue the following command:
yum install -y vim-enhanced
3.5. Deleting Virtual Systems
Deleting a virtual system is a multi-step process.
1. First you must shut down the virtual system that you wish to delete. You may do this by
browsing to the host system's profile in the Satellite web interface, clicking on the
virtualization tab, and checking off the virtual systems that you would like to delete. Finish
shutting down by clicking the Shutdown Systems button at the bottom of the screen.
2. Next, delete the virtual system from Satellite. This is accomplished by checking off the virtual
system's checkbox and clicking the Delete System button at the bottom of the screen>
Tip
Please allow for at least two minutes between shutting down a virtual system and
deleting it. Otherwise, the virtual system may not shut down properly and you will
delete it while it is running. If you delete a virtual system from Satellite while it is
running, it will reappear on the Satellite the next time it checks in. If this happens,
simply shutdown the system, wait two minutes, and delete it again.
3. Delete the disk image for the virtual system you would like to delete. You will find the disk
image for guest1, for example, at the following location on the host system:
/var/lib/xen/disk-images/guest1.disk
Delete it with the following command:
rm /var/lib/xen/disk-images/guest1.disk
