6.4.8. Stored Proﬁles —

RHN Provisioning customers can create package proﬁles through the Proﬁles subtab of the Packages

tab within the System Details page. Those proﬁles end up here, on the Stored Proﬁles page, where

they may be edited and even deleted.

To edit a proﬁle, click its name in the list, alter its name and description, and click the Update Proﬁle.

To view software associated with the proﬁle, click the Packages subtab. To remove the proﬁle entirely,

click delete stored proﬁle at the upper-right corner of the page.

6.4.9. Custom System Info —

RHN Provisioning customers may include completely customizable information about systems. Un-

like notes, the information here is more formal and can be searched upon. For instance, you may

decide to identify an asset tag for each system. To do this, you must create an asset key within the

Custom System Info page.

Click create new key at the upper-right corner of the page. Enter a descriptive label and description,

such as Asset and Precise location of each system, and click the Create Key. The

key will then show up in the custom info keys list.

Once the key exists, you may assign a value to it through the Custom Info tab of the System Details

page. Refer to Section 6.4.2.6.1.5 System Details

Details Custom Info — for instructions.

6.4.10. Kickstart —

To satisfy the provisioning needs of customers, RHN provides this interface for developing kickstart

proﬁles by which new systems may be built. This enables systems to be installed to particular speci-

ﬁcations automatically.

Warning

Since RHN Proxy Servers typically direct ﬁles from the central RHN Servers, and those servers

do not distribute the ﬁles necessary for kickstart, systems connected to a Proxy not being served

by an RHN Satellite Server must be kickstarted using an external installation tree. This tree can

be placed on the Proxy itself in one of two non-forwarding directories: /var/www/html/pub/ and

/var/www/html/_rhn_proxy/. Refer to Section 6.4.10.9 Kickstart

Distributions — for in-

structions on setting up installation trees.

6.4.10.1. Kickstart Prerequisites

Although Red Hat Network has taken great pains to ease the provisioning of systems, some prepara-

tion is still required for your infrastructure to handle kickstarts. For instance, before creating kickstart

proﬁles, you should have:

• Installed and have running a DHCP server.

• Installed and have running a TFTP server.

• Conﬁgured DHCP to assign required networking parameters and the bootloader program location.

• Speciﬁed within the bootloader conﬁguration ﬁle the kernel to be used and appropriate kernel op-

tions.
