4.4.1. Systems
As shown in Figure 4-3, the Systems page displays a list of all your registered systems. The Systems
list contains several columns of information for each system:
Status — Shows which type of Errata Alerts are applicable to the system or confirms that it is
•
up-to-date:
— Critical Errata available, update strongly recommended
•
— Updates available and recommended
•
— System not checking in properly
•
— System not entitled to any update service
•
— System is up-to-date
•
Errata — Total number of Errata Alerts applicable to the system.
•
Packages — Total number of package updates for the system. Includes packages from Errata Alerts
•
as well as newer packages that are not from Errata Alerts. For example, if a system is subscribed
to the Red Hat Linux 7.1 i386 channel that contains version 2.5.4 of a package because that is
the version that shipped with Red Hat Linux 7.1, but the system has version 2.5.2 of the package
installed, the newer version of the package will be in the list of updated packages for the system.
System — The name of the system as configured when registering it. The default name is the
•
hostname of the system. Clicking on the name of a system takes you to the System Details page
for the system. Refer to Section 4.4.1.5 for more information.
Base Channel — The primary channel for the system, based upon its operating system distribution.
•
Refer to Section 4.6.1 for more information.
Entitlement — Whether or not the system is entitled and at what service level.
