To subscribe or unsubscribe the selected systems in any of the channels, toggle the appropriate
checkboxes and click the Alter Subscriptions button. Keep in mind that subscribing to a channel
uses a channel entitlement for each system in the selected group. If too few entitlements are available,
some systems fail to subscribe. Systems must subscribe to a base channel before subscribing to a
child channel.

Like the options within the System Details
can be used to subscribe the selected systems to configuration channels and deploy and compare
the configuration files on the systems. The channels are created in the Manage Config Channels
interface within the Channels category. Refer to
instructions.
To manage the configuration of a system, install the latest rhncfg* packages. Refer to
"Preparing Systems for Config Management"
actions for a system.
