6.4.9. Custom System Info —
RHN Provisioning customers may include completely customizable information about
their systems. Unlike notes, the information here is more formal and may be searched
upon. For instance, you may decide to identify an asset tag for each system. To do this, you
must create an
asset
key within the
Custom System Info
page.
Click
create new key
at the upper-right corner of the page. Enter a descriptive label and
description, such as
Asset
and
Precise location of each system
, and click
the
Create Key
. The key will then show up in the custom info keys list.
Once
the
key
exists,
you
may
assign
a
value
to
it
through
the
Custom
Info
tab
of
the
System
Details
page.
Refer

Section 6.4.2.8.1.5

6.4.10. Kickstart —
To satisfy the provisioning needs of customers, RHN provides this interface for developing
kickstart profiles that can be used to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux on either new or
already-registered systems. This enables systems to be installed automatically to particular
specifications.
Important
If your systems are connected to the central RHN Servers, you will need an external in-
stallation tree for each distribution to be kickstarted. This tree can be hosted anywhere
that is accessible by the target system via HTTP. If the systems are connected through
an RHN Proxy Server, then you may place the installation tree in
/var/www/html/pub/
on the Proxy. RHN Satellite Servers already have a tree for each Red Hat distribution
and therefore do not require separate trees. Even if the system connects through an RHN
Proxy Server to get to the Satellite, these trees will be available for kickstart. Refer to
Section 6.4.10.9
Kickstart
⇒
Distributions —
for instructions on setting up installa-
tion trees.
6.4.10.1. Kickstart Prerequisites
Although Red Hat Network has taken great pains to ease the provisioning of systems, some
preparation is still required for your infrastructure to handle kickstarts. For instance, before
creating kickstart profiles, you may consider:
