6.4.4.9.1. System Set Manager � Channels � Channel Subscriptions —
To subscribe or unsubscribe the selected systems in any of the channels, toggle the appropriate
checkboxes and click the
Alter Subscriptions
button. Keep in mind that subscribing to a channel
uses a channel entitlement for each system in the selected group. If too few entitlements are available,
some systems fail to subscribe. Systems must subscribe to a base channel before subscribing to a
child channel.
6.4.4.10. System Set Manager � Configuration —
Like the options within the
System Details � Channels � Configuration
tab, the subtabs here
can be used to subscribe the selected systems to configuration channels and deploy and compare
the configuration files on the systems. The channels are created in the
Manage Config Channels
interface within the
Channels
category. Refer to
Section 6.7.2, “Overview”
for channel creation
instructions.
To manage the configuration of a system, install the latest
rhncfg*
packages. Refer to
Section 6.7.1,
“Preparing Systems for Config Management”
for instructions on enabling and disabling scheduled
actions for a system.
6.4.4.10.1. System Set Manager � Configuration � Deploy Files —
Use this subtab to distribute configuration files from your central repository on RHN to each of the
selected systems. The table lists the configuration files associated with any of the selected systems.
Clicking its system count displays the systems already subscribed to the file.
To subscribe the selected systems to the available configuration files, select the checkbox for each
desired file. When done, click
Deploy Configuration
and schedule the action. Note that the files
deployed are of the latest version at the time of scheduling and do not account for versions that may
appear before the action takes place.
6.4.4.10.2. System Set Manager � Configuration � Compare Files —
Use this subtab to validate configuration files on the selected systems against copies in your central
repository on RHN. The table lists the configuration files associated with any of the selected systems.
Clicking its system count displays the systems already subscribed to the file.
To compare the configuration files deployed on the systems with those in RHN, select the checkbox
for each file to be validated. Then click
Analyze Differences
and schedule the action. Note that the
files compared are of the latest version at the time of scheduling and do not account for versions that
may appear before the action takes place. Find the results within the main
Schedule
category or
within the
System Details � Events
tab.
