Chapter 4. Red Hat Network Website
4.4.1.1. All
The All page contains the default set of your systems. It displays every system you've registered with
Red Hat Network.
4.4.1.2. Out of Date
The Out of Date page displays the registered systems that have applicable Errata Alerts that have not
been applied.
4.4.1.3. Unentitled
The Unentitled page displays the registered systems that have not yet been entitled for Red Hat
Network service.
4.4.1.4. Inactive
The Inactive page displays the registered systems that have not checked into RHN for 24 hours or
more. When the Red Hat Update Agent connects to RHN to see if there are any updates available or
if any actions have been scheduled, this is considered a checkin. If you are seeing a message indicating
checkins are not taking place, the RHN client on your system is not successfully reaching Red Hat
Network for some reason. This indicates:
The system is not entitled to any RHN service. System Profiles that remain unentitled for 180 days
•
(6 months) are removed.
The system is entitled, but the Red Hat Network Daemon has been disabled on the system. Refer to
•
Chapter 5 Red Hat Network Daemon for instructions on restarting and troubleshooting.
The system is behind a firewall that does not allow connections over https (port 443).
•
The system is behind a proxy that has not been properly configured.
•
Some other barrier exists between the system and the RHN Servers.
