System The name of the system as configured when registering it. The default name is the
hostname of the system. Clicking on the name of a system takes you to the System Details page
for the system. Refer to Section 6.4.2.6 System Details for more information.
Base Channel — Theprimary channel for the system, based upon its operating system distribution.
Refer to Section 6.6.1 Software Channels for more information.
Entitlement — Whether or not the system is entitled and at what service level.
Links in the left navigation bar below Systems enable you to select and view predefined sets of your
systems. All of the options described above can be applied within these pages.
6.4.2.1. All
The All page contains the default set of your systems. It displays every system you have permission
to manage. A user has permission to manage a system if he is the only user in his organization, if he is
an Organization Administrator, or if the system is a member of a group to which he has admin rights.
6.4.2.2. Out of Date
The Out of Date page displays the systems that have applicable Errata Alerts that have not been
applied.
6.4.2.3. Unentitled —
The Unentitled page displays the systems that have not yet been entitled for RedHat Network service.
6.4.2.4. Ungrouped
The Ungrouped page displays the systems that have not yet been assigned to a specific system group.
6.4.2.5. Inactive
The Inactive page displays the systems that have not checked into RHN for 24 hours or more. When
the Red Hat Update Agent connects to RHN to see if there are any updates available or if any actions
have been scheduled, this is considered a checkin. If you are seeing a message indicating checkins are
not taking place, the RHN client on your system is not successfully reaching Red Hat Network for
some reason. This indicates:
The system is not entitled to any RHN service. System Profiles that remain unentitled for 180 days
(6 months) are removed.
The system is entitled, but the Red Hat Network Daemon has been disabled on the system. Refer to
Chapter 3 Red Hat Network Daemon for instructions on restarting and troubleshooting.
The system is behind a firewall that does not allow connections over https (port 443).
The system is behind an HTTP proxy server that has not been properly configured.
The systemis connected toan RHN ProxyServer orRHN Satellite Server that has notbeen properly
configured.
The system itself has not been properly configured, perhaps pointing at the wrong RHN Server.
The system is not on the network.
Some other barrier exists between the system and the RHN Servers.
