Unlike typical activation keys, which are not associated with a specific system ID, keys created here
do not show up within the Activation Keys page.
Warning
When kickstarting a system with its existing RHN profile, the kickstart profile uses the
system-specific activation key created here to re-register the system and return its
other RHN settings. For this reason, you should not regenerate, delete, or use this key
(with rhnreg_ks) while a profile-based kickstart is in progress. If you do, the kickstart
will fail.
6.4.2.9.1.5. System Details
This subtab provides detailed information about the system, including networking, BIOS, storage,
and other devices. This appears only if you selected to include the hardware profile for this machine
during registration. If the hardware profile looks incomplete or outdated, click the Schedule Hardware
Refresh button to schedule a Hardware Profile update for your system. The next time the RHN
Daemon connects to RHN, it will update your System Profile with the latest list of hardware.
6.4.2.9.1.6. System Details
This subtab provides a place to create notes about the system. To add a new note, click the create
new note link, type a subject and details, and click the Create button. To modify a note, click on its
subject in the list of notes, make your changes, and click the Update button. To remove a note, click
on its subject in the list of notes and then click the delete note link.
6.4.2.9.1.7. System Details
This subtab, available for systems with a Provisioning entitlement, provides completely
customizable information about the system. Unlike Notes, Custom Info is structured, formalized,
and can be searched upon. Before you can provide custom information about a system,
you must first have Custom Information Keys. This is done via the Custom System Info
page, available from the left navigation bar. Refer to
for instructions.
Once you have created one or more Keys, you may assign a value for this system by select the create
new value link. Click the name of the key in the resulting list and enter a value for it in the Description
field, then click the Update Key button.
6.4.2.9.1.8. System Details
