Chapter 13. Errata Management with Red Hat Satellite

Red Hat Virtualization can be configured to view errata from Red Hat Satellite in the Red Hat Virtualization Manager. This enables the administrator to receive updates about available errata, and their importance, for hosts, virtual machines, and the Manager once they have been associated with a Red Hat Satellite provider. Administrators can then choose to apply the updates by running an update on the required host, virtual machine, or on the Manager. For more information about Red Hat Satellite see the Red Hat Satellite User Guide.

Red Hat Virtualization 4.2 supports errata management with Red Hat Satellite 6.1.

Configuring Red Hat Virtualization Errata

To associate a Manager, host, and virtual machine with a Red Hat Satellite provider first the Manager must be associated with a provider. Then the host is associated with the same provider and configured. Finally, the virtual machine is associated with the same provider and configured.
