Introduction to the Guide
Welcome to the
Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.1.1 Reference Guide
. The
RHN Reference Guide
guides you through registering systems with Red Hat Network and using its many features.
Since Red Hat Network offers a variety of service levels, from the most basic Update module to the
most advanced Monitoring package, some content of this guide may be inapplicable to you. This is
particularly true of the RHN website, which displays selected categories, pages, and tabs depending
on the entitlement level of the account used to log in. Refer to
Chapter 6, Red Hat Network Website
to
determine what is available to you.
Depending on the version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux installed and the addition of new features,
the
Red Hat Network Registration Client
and the
Red Hat Update Agent
may differ from the
descriptions in this manual. Use Red Hat Network to update these applications before referring to the
latest version of this manual.
All versions of this manual are available in HTML and PDF formats at
http://www.redhat.com/docs/
manuals/RHNetwork/
.
This version of the manual covers version 4.4.5 of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4
Red Hat
Update Agent
and versions 2.9.14 and 2.9.12 of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1
Red Hat Update
Agent
and
Red Hat Network Registration Client
, respectively.
Warning
Systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 must use the
Red Hat Network
Registration Client
before starting the
Red Hat Update Agent
. Refer to
Chapter 5,
Red Hat Network Registration Client
for instructions. Systems running Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 3, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and later register with the
