7.4.2.9.4. System Details � Provisioning —
This tab and its subtabs allow you to schedule and monitor kickstarts and to return your system to a
previous state. Kickstart is a Red Hat utility that allows you to automate the reinstallation of a system.
Snapshots keep a record of every change to a Provisioning system and allow you to "undo" those
changes at will. Both features are described in the sections that follow.
7.4.2.9.4.1. System Details � Provisioning � Kickstart —
This subtab is further divided into
Session Status
, which tracks the progress of previously scheduled
kickstarts, and
Schedule
, which allows you to configure and schedule a kickstart for this system.
Th
Schedule
subtab allows you to schedule the selected system for kickstart. Choose from the list of
available kickstart profiles, select a time for the kickstart to begin, and click the
Schedule Kickstart
and Finish
button to begin the kickstart. You may first alter kickstart settings by clicking the
Advanced
Configuration
button.
Note
You must first create a kickstart profile before it appears on this subtab. If you have not
created any profiles, refer to
Section 7.4.9.3, “Create a New Kickstart Profile”
before
scheduling a kickstart for a system.
The
Variables
subtab can be used to create Kickstart variables, which substitute values into kickstart
files. To define a variable, create a name-value pair (
name/value
) in the text box.
For example, if you wanted to kickstart a system that joins the network for specified department (for
example the Engineering organization) you can create a profile variable to set the IP address and the
gateway server address to a variable that any system using that profile will use. Add the following line
to the
Variables
text box.
IPADDR=192.168.0.28
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
To use the system variable, you can use the name of the variable within the profile to substitute in the
value. For example, the
network
portion of a kickstart file could look like the following:
