Note
If your host system is already registered to a different Red Hat Network server, asdd
the --force option to the command above.
2. Next, open up the host system's profile in the Satellite web interface. Log into the web interface
of your Satellite at https://your-satellite.example.com/. Click on the Systems tab in the top red
navigation bar. You should see the host system you just registered — click on its profile name to
access its system profile page.
3. Add a provisioning entitlement to your host system. From your host system profile page, click on
Details Properties tab. Check the Provisioning checkbox in the Add-On Entitlements field,
and click the Update Properties button in the lower right hand corner of the screen.
4. Next, schedule the kickstart. You are brought back to the host system's profile page. You should
now see a Provisioning tab in the system profile. Click on this tab. This should bring up the
Schedule Kickstart page for the system.
5. Select the kickstart profile we created for this host earlier. Then, select the Schedule Kickstart and
Finish button in the lower right-hand corner of the screen.
Note
If you do not see the kickstart profile you created earlier on the host system's
Schedule Kickstart page, you may have created a kickstart profile for an
architecture that does not match the architecture of the host system you have
registered. If this is the case, open the kickstart profile by navigating to Systems
Kickstart
for the host system's kickstart profile. Click on the Kickstart Detail
System tab, and select items under the Base Channel and Available Trees
selections that match the architecture of your host system. Click on the Update
Kickstart button in the lower right hand corner of the screen, and navigate back to
the host system's Schedule Kickstart page, following the steps above this note.
6. After scheduling the kickstart, you will be taken to a Kickstart Status screen in the Satellite's web
interface. Keep your web browser open to that page to follow along with the host system's progress.
7. Use ssh to connect to the host system, and run the command rhn_check. This should cause the
kickstart process to behind immediately rather than the next time the rhn_check process runs
on the system. You should immediately see output indicating the start of a kickstart process on
the host system, and it will eventually warn you that the system is going dow for reboot in three
minutes.
8. After three minutes have passed, the system will reboot. Follow the progress of the kickstart via the
Satellite web interface.
