⇒
Kickstart
⇒
Schedule —
The default display of the
Kickstart
tab, this subtab allows the kickstarting of the selected
system. To schedule a kickstart, select a distribution, identify the type (IP address or manual
selection of kickstart profile), and click
Continue
. Note that IP address kickstarts require
ranges to be defined in kickstart profiles.
On the next page, finish choosing from the options available. If the client system to be
kickstarted connects to the RHN through a RHN Proxy Server, select the appropriate Proxy
from the
Select RHN Proxy:
dropdown list. Using the existing RHN profile relies upon the
system-specific activation key created within the
Reactivation
tab to reregister the system.
Do not regenerate, delete, or use this key while a profile-based kickstart is in progress.
Selecting the
Deploy Configuration
checkbox will re-install configuration files from any
config channels associated with the system. When finished, click the
Schedule Kickstart
button.
Caution
It is imperative the kickstart profile selected match the installation files supplied. For in-
stance, it is possible a given IP address could be associated with a Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 2.1 kickstart profile, but you insert an IP address kickstart CD-ROM built for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 4. This would result in errors and cause the kickstart to fail.
Note
The
Select RHN Proxy:
dropdown list does not appear for the client if that system does
not connect to RHN via a Proxy.

⇒
Session Status —
If you’ve scheduled a kickstart, this subtab shows where the system’s kickstart stands.
Details include the kickstart profile used, its state, and pending and latest actions. Kickstarts
that do not complete within approximately two hours will be marked as failed here. Click
the profile name to access the
Kickstart Details
page. Click the
view
link to see the actual
kickstart configuration file generated by RHN. To force this page to reload at a set interval,
select one from the pulldown menu and click the
Change Reload Time
button.
