Chapter 8.
UNIX Support Guide
8.1. Introduction
This chapter documents the installation procedure for, and identifies differences in, Red
Hat Network functionality when used to manage UNIX-based client systems. RHN offers
UNIX support to help customers migrate from UNIX to Linux. Because of the limited
scope of this task, the features offered for UNIX client management are not as comprehen-
sive as those available for managing Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems.
Subsequent sections specify supported UNIX variants, RHN features supported by the
UNIX management system, the prerequisites for managing a UNIX system with RHN,
as well as the installation procedure for UNIX clients.
8.1.1. Supported UNIX Variants
The following UNIX variants, versions, and architectures are supported by Red Hat Net-
work:
•
Solaris 8, 9, 10 (sparc)
•
Solaris 9, 10 (x86)
8.1.2. Prerequisites
These items are needed to obtain UNIX support:
•
RHN Satellite Server 4.0.5 or later
