System Set Manager

The System Set Manager interface allows you to perform the following actions on a system set (the current set of selected systems):

1. Apply Errata Updates

2. Upgrade packages to the most recent versions available

3. Add/remove systems to/from system groups

4. Subscribe/unsubscribe systems to/from channels

5. Update system profiles

6. Modify system preferences such as automatic download and installation of packages

Before performing actions on multiple systems, you must select systems you wish to modify. Pages including System List and System Search have a column of checkboxes under the Select column. Click the checkbox beside the system that you want to select, and click Update Selection List to add them to selected system set.

The System Set Manager box below the left navigation bar (as shown in Figure 6-7) helps you keep track of your current selections.
