Getting Updates from Red Hat Network

Getting Updates from Red Hat Network
After you install your operating system and reboot, login as root on the console (HP
recommends using the graphical console rather than the text console) and run the
rhn_register command to register your system with Red Hat Network. Use the registration
card number that came with your Red Hat CDs to activate this process and create an account
with Red Hat Network.
Communication between your system and Red Hat Network server begins with confirmation
of your installed software packages, and optionally, your hardware. Red Hat Network server
notes any necessary updates and sends email to the Red Hat administrator to forward the
packages to your system when you request an update.
NOTE Red Hat ensures all information transferred is treated as private and
confidential. By default, all data sent and received over the network uses the
secure sockets layer (SSL).
To update your system, run the up2date command on the console (HP recommends using the
graphical console rather than the text console) to initiate the process with Red Hat Network.
Follow the instructions Red Hat provides.
Red Hat provides more detailed information on the update process in its documentation.
