4.5.2.1. Apply Errata Updates
Errata Alerts include a list of updated packages that are required to apply the Errata Update. To apply
Errata Updates to a system, the system must be entitled.
You can apply all applicable Errata Updates to a system by clicking on
Systems
=>
Systems
in the
top and left navigation bars. Click on the name of an entitled system, and click the
Errata
tab of the
resulting
System Details
page. When the Relevant Errata list appears, click
Select All
then the
Apply
Errata
button on the bottom right-hand corner of the page.
In addition, Enterprise-level users can apply Errata Updates using two other methods:
•
To apply a specific Errata Update to one or more Enterprise-level systems, find the update within
the Errata lists or by searching. In the table, click on the number of systems affected, which will
take you to the
Affected Systems
tab of the
Errata Details
page. Then, individually select the
systems to be updated and click the
Apply Errata
.
•
To apply more than one Errata Update to one or more systems, select the systems from a
Systems
list and click the
Update
button. Click the
System Set Manager
link in the left navigation bar, then
click the
Systems
tab. After ensuring the appropriate systems are selected, click the
Errata
tab, se-
lect the Errata Updates to apply, and click the
Apply Errata
button. You can select to apply the
Errata as soon as possible (the next time the Red Hat Network Daemon on the client systems con-
nect to RHN) or schedule a date and time for the Errata Updates to occur. Then click the
Schedule
Updates
button. You can follow the progress of the Errata Updates through the
Pending Actions
list. Refer to Section 4.7 for more details.
Important
If you choose to apply Errata Updates automatically, the packages will be installed via the RHN
Daemon. You must have the RHN Daemon enabled on your systems. Refer to Chapter 5 for more
details.
The following rules apply to Errata Updates:
•
Each package is a member of one or more channels. If a selected system is not subscribed to a
channel containing the package, the package will not be installed on that system.
•
If a newer version of the package is already on the system, the package will not be installed on that
system.
•
If an older version of the package is installed, the package will be upgraded.
4.5.2.2. Errata Details
If you click on the Advisory of an Errata Alert in the
Relevant
or
All

•
The

and lists the channels it affects. Clicking on a channel name displays the
Packages
tab of the
Channel Details
page. Refer to Section 4.6.1.3 for more information.
•
The
Packages
tab provides links to each of the updated RPMs broken down by channel. Clicking
on the name of a package displays its
Package Details
