1.1. Update
The RHN Update service is ideal for a user with one Red Hat Enterprise Linux system or a small
number of Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. Updated Subscription to Update can be purchased at
https://www.redhat.com/apps/commerce/rhn/
.
With each Update subscription, you receive the following services:
• Download Software — For customers who have purchased subscriptions to Red Hat Network, ISO
images are available for immediate download.
• Priority Access during periods of high load — When Red Hat releases a large erratum, users
with Priority Access can be guaranteed that they will be able to access the updated packages
immediately.
• RHN Support Access — All paying customers of Red Hat Network receive web based support for
their RHN questions.
• Errata Notification, Multiple Systems — Subscriptions for multiple systems means Errata notification
for Errata to all of those systems. Note that only one email is distributed per each Erratum,
regardless of the number of systems affected.
• Errata Updates, Multiple Systems — Get quick updates for multiple systems with an easy button
click for each system.
1.2. Management
In addition to the features offered in the RHN Update subscription level, the RHN Management
subscription service allows you to manage your network of Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems, users,
and system groups through its
System Set Manager
interface.
RHN Management is based upon the concept of an organization. Each Management-level Red Hat
customer has the ability to establish users who have administration privileges to system groups. An
Organization Administrator has overall control over each Red Hat Network organization with the ability
to add and remove systems and users. When users other than the Satellite Administrator log into the
Red Hat Network website, they see only the systems they have permission to administer.
