6) After scheduling the kickstart, you'll be taken to a Kickstart Status screen in
the Satellite's web interface. You'll want to keep your web browser open to that
page to follow along with the host system's progress.
7) Use ssh to connect to the host system, and run the command 'rhn_check'.
This should cause the kickstart process to begin immediately rather than the
next time the rhn_check process runs on the system. You should immediately
see output indicating the start of a kickstart process on the host system, and it
will eventually warn you that the system is going down for reboot in 3 minutes.
8) After 3 minutes have passed, the system will reboot and you'll need to
follow the progress of the kickstart via the Satellite web interface.
9) Depending on various factors, the kickstart process may take between 10-
30 minutes. At the end of this time period the Satellite kickstart status page
should indicate whether that the kickstart finished successfully.
TIP:
If the kickstart fails, the Satellite kickstart status page should indicate that
there was a failure. For more details on why the kickstart failed, click on the
Events > History tab in the host system's profile, and click on the name of
kickstart event that failed to get more details on the failure. It may also be
useful to consult /var/log/up2date and /var/log/xen/xend.log on the host
system for troubleshooting purposes.
Scenario 2: Your host system does not have Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Installed
You'll need to create a boot CD to initiate the kickstart on your host system.
You'll be able to use the kickstart profile we created in earlier steps to
provision the host. Note you must have physical access to the machine you
intend to use in order to follow these steps:
1) You'll find an ISO to create a boot CD for your host by using ssh to log into
your Satellite. It is at the following location on your Satellite (replace 'i386' with
the appropriate architecture as needed):
/var/satellite/rhn/kickstart/ks-rhel-i386-server-
5/images/boot.iso
For details on how to use this ISO image to burn a CD using Linux, please
refer to the following Red Hat Knowledgebase Article:
