Locale Preferences; Subscription Management - Red Hat NETWORK SATELLITE 5.1.1 Reference Manual

6.3.3. Locale Preferences

The Your RHN Locale Preferences page allows each user to tailor their RHN interface to the local
time and their preferred language. Select the appropriate timezone from the Time Zone dropdown
box, then click the Save Preferences button to apply the selection.
When the language preference is set to Use Browser Settings, RHN uses the language preference
from the user's browser (such as Firefox) to determine which language to use for the web interface.
When one of the listed languages is selected, the user sees the web interface in that language
each time they log in, regardless of their browser's settings. Choosing a preferred language may be
helpful for users traveling abroad. To select a default language, click the radio button to the left of the
appropriate language and click the Save Preferences button to apply the change.

6.3.4. Subscription Management

To use all of the features of RHN, your systems must be entitled — subscribed to an RHN service
level. Use the System Entitlements page to configure which systems are entitled to which service
offerings. There are six primary types of entitlements:
• Update — manages a single Red Hat Enterprise Linux system. It includes Errata Alerts, Scheduled
Errata Updates, Package Installation, and the Red Hat Update Agent.
• Management — manages multiple systems with multiple system administrators. In addition to the
features of the Update offering, it includes system group management, user management, and the
System Set Manager interface to quickly perform actions on multiple systems.
• Provisioning — offers the highest level of functionality. It should be used to provision multiple
systems that will need to be re-installed and reconfigured regularly. The Provisioning offering
provides tools for kickstarting machines, managing their configuration files, conducting snapshot
rollbacks, and inputting searchable custom system information, as well as all of the functionality
included in the Management service level.
• Monitoring — monitors the health of multiple systems. The Monitoring offering provides probes
that watch system metrics and notify Administrators when changes occur. Such notifications alert
Administrators to system performance degradation before it becomes critical.
• Virtualization — applies to virtual host systems. Virtual hosts with this entitlement may register as
many as four guest systems without violating RHN's Service Level Agreement. Guest systems may
be subscribed to any channel with the virtualization-free channel group label without consuming
channel entitlements. Subscribing a guest to any channel that does not belong to virtualization-
free, such as a Directory Server or RHN Satellite channel, consumes an additional channel
entitlement.
• Virtualization Platform — also applies to virtual host systems. Host systems to which this
entitlement apply may register an unlimited number of virtual guests without invalidating your
Service Level Agreement. Guests of a host with this entitlement may subscribe to any channel
that has the virtualization-platform-free content group label without consuming any channel
entitlements. Subscribing a guest to any channel that does not belong to virtualization-platform-
free, such as a Directory Server or RHN Satellite channel, consumes an additional channel
entitlement.
