Setting Up the Host System for Your Virtual Systems
Step 1: Create a Kickstart Profile for the Host System
1) Log into your newly-configured Satellite's web interface at https://your-
satellite.example.com/. Navigate to the Kickstart Overview screen by clicking
the 'Manage Kickstarts' link in the 'Tasks' widget in Your RHN, or by clicking on
Systems (top nav bar) > Kickstart (left nav bar).
2) On the Kickstart Overview page, click the 'Create a New Kickstart Profile'
link in the 'Kickstart Actions' widget in the upper right corner.
3) Now you should find yourself on Step 1 of the kickstart profile creation
process:
1. Please enter the following label for the profile: 'host-system-for-virtual-
systems'.
2. For the 'Base Channel' field, you should select the 'Red Hat Enterprise
Linux (v.5 for $ARCH)' where $ARCH is a hardware architecture
compatible with your host system.
3. For the 'Kickstartable Tree' field, you should select 'ks-rhel-$ARCH-
server-5' where $ARCH is the architecture of your host system.
4. Please select 'Para-Virtualized Host' for the 'Virtualization Type' field.
5. Finally, click the 'Next' button in the lower right of the screen to
continue on to the next step.
NOTE:
If any of the fields are missing the options indicated above, you may not
have successfully synced software channel content to your Satellite from
Red Hat's servers. Please review the Red Hat Network Satellite 5.0.0
Guide for information on syncing software content to your Satellite.
4) For Step 2 of the kickstart profile creation process, you'll need to select the
location of the distribution files for the installation of your host system. There
should already be a 'Default Download Location' filled out and selected for you
on this screen. You may simply click the Next button on this screen to continue
to Step 3.
