Chapter 6. Red Hat Network Website
6.6.1.2. Retired Channels
The Retired Channels page displays channels available to your organization that have
reached their end-of-life dates. These channels do not receive updates.
6.6.1.3. All Channels
The All Channels page can be retrieved by clicking All below Software Channels in
the left navigation bar. It works identically to the Relevant button with one exception; it
displays all software channels offered by Red Hat Network, regardless of whether you have
systems associated with them.
6.6.1.4. Software Channel Details
If you click on the name of a channel, the Software Channel Details page appears. This
page is broken down into the following tabs:
6.6.1.4.1. Software Channel Details ⇒ Details
General information about the channel and the parent channel, if it is a child channel. This
is the first tab displayed when you click on a channel. It displays essential information
about the channel, such as summary, description, and architecture.
— In addition, a Globally Subscribable checkbox can be seen by Organization Admin-
istrators and Channel Administrators. This signifies the default behavior of every channel
allowing any user to subscribe systems to it. Unchecking this box and clicking Update
causes the appearance of a Subscribers tab, which may then be used to grant certain users
subscription permissions to the channel. Organization Administrators and Channel Admin-
istrators can always subscribe systems to any channel.
— Only customers with custom base channels may change their systems' base channel
assignment. They may do this through the website in two ways:
Customers with a custom base channel may assign the system to that base channel.
•
Customers may revert system subscriptions from a custom base channel to the appropri-
•
ate distribution-based base channel.
Note
The system base channel's distribution variant must match the variant installed on the
system. For example, a system that has Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS v.4 for x86 cannot
be registered to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES v.4 for x86 base channel.
