Channel Administrators automatically have management access to all channels.
• Errata — Provides the errata associated with each of your custom channels. Just as Red Hat
Network produces and delivers errata updates to Red Hat Enterprise Linux software, you
deliver errata updates to your custom channels as part of updating your servers with the latest
code. This tab contains subtabs that allow you to view, add, remove, and clone erratum:
List/Remove, Add and Clone. Note that cloning errata can be done only via RHN Satellite
Server.
• List/Remove — Displays all of the errata currently associated with the custom channel and
provides a means to cancel that association. To remove errata from the channel, select
their checkboxes and click Remove Errata on the bottom right-hand corner of the page. A
confirmation page appears listing the errata to be removed. Click Confirm to complete the
action.
• Add — Enables the addition of errata to the channel. All of the errata potentially applicable
to the channel are listed. To add errata to the channel, select the appropriate checkboxes
and click Add Errata. Refer to Chapter 5, Custom Errata Management for a discussion of
errata management.
• Clone — Allows Satellite customers to replicate errata and associated packages for a
cloned channel. This subtab immediately appears populated for channels that were cloned
with either the original state or select errata option. The Clone tab also gains errata
whenever one is issued for the target (that is, originating) channel. This makes it useful for
channels cloned with the current state option, as well. Refer to Section 7, “Cloning Software
Channels” for a discussion of cloning options.
To include errata from the target channel in the cloned channel, select either Merge or
Clone from each advisory's dropdown menu. The Merge option exists only if the erratum
has been previously cloned. Use it to associate the erratum across channels and avoid
duplicate entries. Use the Clone option to create a new entry, such as when modifying it
from the previous clone.
By default, cloned errata inherit the label of the original Red Hat advisory with the "RH"
prefix replaced with "CL". For example, RHSA-2003:324 becomes CLSA-2003:324.
Subsequent clones of the same advisory have their second letters sequenced to denote
their order, such as "CM" and "CN". These labels can be altered through the Managed
Errata Details page. Refer to Section 2, “Managed Errata Details” for instructions.
In addition to the Merge option, previously cloned errata contain values within the Owned
Errata column. The erratum label is linked to its details page. The pub and mod flags
within parentheses identify whether the cloned erratum has been published or modified
from the original advisory. A plus sign + before the flag indicates affirmative, the cloned
errata has been published. A minus sign - before the flag denotes negative. For example,
(-mod) may mean a package has been deleted. To find out more about publishing and
editing custom errata, refer to Section 1, “Manage Errata”.
To exclude errata from the cloned channel, select Do Nothing from their dropdown menus.
