not belong to virtualization-free, such as a Directory Server or RHN Satellite channel,
consumes an additional channel entitlement.
• Virtualization Platform — also applies to virtual host systems. Host systems to which this
entitlement apply may register an unlimited number of virtual guests without invalidating your
Service Level Agreement. Guests of a host with this entitlement may subscribe to any
channel that has the virtualization-platform-free content group label without consuming any
channel entitlements. Subscribing a guest to any channel that does not belong to
virtualization-platform-free, such as a Directory Server or RHN Satellite channel, consumes
an additional channel entitlement.
Tip
The two virtualization entitlements specifically apply to host systems.
Guest systems that exist on unregistered hosts are treated the same as any
physical system — each guest consumes a channel and a system entitlement.
3.4.1. System Entitlements
The System Entitlements page allows you to view, add, and remove the entitlements for your
registered systems. Red Hat Network 4.0 allows you to apply and remove entitlements at will,
allowing you to adjust your Red Hat Network infrastructure as your organization grows and
changes.
To enable the base entitlement, select the checkbox to the left of the system, then click the Set
to Management Entitled button. For add-on entitlements, select the system's checkbox,
followed by the desired entitlement from the drop-down box, and finally press the Add
Entitlement button.
If clicking on an entitlement fails to update the information in the table, you may need to
purchase additional entitlements. Check the number of available subscriptions, listed in bold
below the table. Non-RHN Satellite Server customers may purchase more entitlements; click the
Buy Now link at the left of the page to do so.
When an entitlement expires, the last system entitled to the same service level (such as
Management) will be unentitled. For instance, if you have 10 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS
systems entitled to Management and either one of the RHN entitlements or one of the operating
system subscriptions expire, the last system subscribed or entitled will have their subscription or
entitlement removed.
3.4.2. Virtualization Entitlements
This page only appears if you have applied Virtualization or Virtualization Platform entitlements.
It allows you to quickly assess whether you have used these entitlements in the most effective
