The following are the major features of Red Hat Network 4.1.0.
The Your RHN page has changed to improve usability and to allow customization of the page. The following modules are available for this page:
Tasks — A task-oriented menu of quick links to different areas of the RHN user interface.
Inactive Systems — Lists the registered RHN systems that recently stopped checking in.
Most Critical Systems — A listing of the systems with the most critical update and health status.
Recently Scheduled Actions — Lists the scheduled actions of the user.
Relevant Security Errata — View the most recent errata either applicable to your systems or all available
System Groups — Preview the overall status of your system groups.
These modules can be selected on the Your RHN ⇒ Your Preferences page.
You can also select the language in which RHN is displayed by making a selection on the Locale Preferences page.
While RHN now supports the display of multiple languages, it does not at this time accept input in non-ascii characters.
Lastly, you may also choose a timezone that corresponds to your location.
A new page, Locale Preferences, has been added to the web interface. On this page, you can select the language in which the interface is presented as well as the timezone for your location. This page may be found from the Your RHN ⇒ Locale Preferences.
The web interface to Kickstart has been completely overhauled. The changed pages, which can be reached from Systems ⇒ Kickstart and System Details ⇒ Provisioning, include the following:
A new Kickstart Profile creation wizard, which takes you through the steps necessary to create a new profile.
A new Kickstart page, which displays the status of previously scheduled kickstarts, the number of profiles and the operating systems to which they refer, and a short list of common kickstart tasks.
A Bare Metal kickstart page, which allows you to kickstart systems according to an IP address range
A bug in the Your RHN page, which did not display the correct number of Total Systems for an organization, has been fixed as part of the general Your RHN overhaul.
When a new order is placed with RHN, RHN sends out a URL via email where the new user creates their account. This ensures that customer logins are correctly associated with their organization. Previously, the URL in the email linked to the Home User Login page. This has been corrected, and now points to the Business Login page.
A bug that caused Kickstart to ignore the Sync Package Profile With Package Profile option has been fixed.
A new network interface has been added to the API: system.get_network_devices
Input — session key for logged in user and sid for system
This network interface returns an array of maps representing the network devices for a given system.
Each map contains — name, ip, broadcast, hardware_address, netmask, and module
The Base Channel listed in the System Overview page for each system now links directly to the Channel Details page for that base channel.
The Red Hat Network FAQ has been deprecated. In a future release, the FAQ will be removed. The content will be available and maintained as part of the Red Hat Knowledgebase.
The following release notes were released as part of the Satellite Release Notes, available at https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/help/release-notes/satellite/index.jsp. These release notes should also have been included with the RHN Release Notes for versions 4.0.5 and 4.0.6.
Unchecking the box labeled Schedule a deploy action for all of the configuration files listed above upon registration. on the Configuration sub-tab of the Activation Keys page now functions correctly; configuration files are not deployed.
All activation keys used during client registration must be set to deploy configuration files in order for any configuration files to be deployed.
