— OSA status is also displayed for client systems registered to a Satellite that have a Provisioning
entitlement and have enabled OSA.
Push enables Satellite customers to immediately initiate tasks on Provisioning-entitled system rather
than wait for those systems to check in with RHN. Scheduling actions through push is identical to the
process of scheduling any other action, except that the task begins immediately instead of waiting the
set interval.
In addition to the configuration of the Satellite, each client system to receive pushed actions must have
the
osad
package installed and its service started. Refer to the
Enabling Push to Clients
section of the
RHN Satellite Server 5.1.1 Installation Guide
for details.
