6.4.2.8.4. 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 re-
installation 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.
6.4.2.8.4.1. 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.
Schedule
This 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 6.4.9.3 Create a New Kickstart Profile be-
fore scheduling a kickstart for a system.
Session Status
If you have scheduled a kickstart, this subtab shows the progress of the kickstart. The
provided details include the kickstart profile used, its state, the next action and the
number of requested packages. Kickstarts that do not complete within approximately
two hours are marked Kickstart Failed. The page refreshes itself periodically, or you
can force a refresh using your browser's controls.
