The Systems page displays a list of all your registered systems. The Systems list contains several
columns of information for each system:
• Select — Update-entitled systems cannot be selected. To select systems, mark the appropriate
checkboxes and click the Update List button below the column. Selected systems are added to
the System Set Manager. After adding systems to the System Set Manager, you can use it to
perform actions on them simultaneously. Refer to Section 6.4.4 System Set Manager —
for
details.
• Status — Shows which type of Errata Alerts are applicable to the system or confirms that it is
up-to-date. Some icons are linked to pages providing resolution. For instance, the standard Updates
icon is linked to the Upgrade subtab of the packages list, while the Critical Updates icon goes
directly to the Update Confirmation page. Also, the Not Checking In icon is linked to instructions
for resolving the issue.
•
— System is up-to-date
• — Critical Errata available, update strongly recommended
• — Updates available and recommended
• — System is locked; Actions prohibited
• — System is being kickstarted
• — Updates have been scheduled
• — System not checking in properly (for 24 hours or more)
• — System not entitled to any update service
• Errata — Total number of Errata Alerts applicable to the system.
• Packages — Total number of package updates for the system.Includes packages from Errata Alerts
as well as newer packages that are not from Errata Alerts. For example, if a system is subscribed
to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 i386 channel that contains version 2.5.4 of a package because
that is the version that shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, but the system has version 2.5.2
of the package installed, the newer version of the package will be in the list of updated packages
for the system.
Important
If the RHN website identifies package updates for the system, yet the Red Hat Update Agent
responds with "Your system is fully updated" when run, a conflict likely exists in the system’s pack-
age profile or in the up2date configuration file. To resolve the conflict, either schedule a package
list update or remove the packages from the Package Exceptions list for the Red Hat Update
Agent. Refer to Section 6.4.2.6 System Details or Section 2.4.1.3 Package Exceptions Settings,
respectively, for instructions.
