Use this subtab to validate configuration files on the selected systems against copies in your central
repository on RHN. The table lists the configuration files associated with any of the selected systems.
Clicking its system count displays the systems already subscribed to the file.
To compare the configuration files deployed on the systems with those in RHN, select the checkbox for
each file to be validated. Then click Analyze Differences and schedule the action. Note that the files
compared are of the latest version at the time of scheduling and do not account for versions that may
appear before the action takes place. Find the results within the main Schedule category or within the
System Details
7.4.4.10.3. System Set Manager
Subscribe systems to configuration channels according to order of preference. This tab is available
only to Satellite Administrators and Configuration Administrators. Enter a number in the Rank column
to subscribe to a channel. Channels are accessed in the order of their rank, starting from the number
1. Channels not assigned a numeric value are not associated with the selected systems. Your local
configuration channel always overrides all other channels. Once you have established the rank of the
config channels, you must decide how they are applied to the selected systems.
The three buttons below the channels reflect your options. Clicking Subscribe with Highest
Priority places all the ranked channels before any other channels to which the selected systems are
currently subscribed. Clicking Subscribe With Lowest Priority places the ranked channels after
those channels to which the selected systems are currently subscribed. Clicking Replace Existing
Subscriptions removes any existing association and starts cleanly with the ranked channels, leaving
every system with the same config channels in the same order.
In the first two cases, if any of the newly ranked config channels is already in a system's existing
config channel list, the duplicate channel is removed and replaced according to the new rank,
effectively reordering the system's existing channels. When such conflicts exist, you are presented
with a confirmation page to ensure the intended action is correct. When the change has taken place, a
message appears at the top of the page indicating the update was successful.
