A. Revision History 29

All organizations need simple, yet powerful tools to deploy Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. For

many years, Red Hat Network Satellite has empowered companies to build repeatable, predictable

and reliable deployment processes to ensure rapid repurposing of linux servers and desktops.

Whether you have 10 systems or 10,000 systems, RHN Satellite can help you achieve this goal in a

disciplined fashion. Now, after significant investment, RHN Satellite 5.3.0 has dramatically boosted the

flexibility and power of its signature provisioning capabilities.

This document contains concise details and instructions for use of the new kickstart provisioning

functionality in Red Hat Network Satellite 5.3.0. Until such time as proper formal documentation makes

its way into Satellite itself, you can consider this to be authoritative.

1. Requirements

• A functional 5.3.0 Satellite in operation within your environment. If you are installing Satellite 5.3.0

on a new system, please refer to the instructions in the Red Hat Network Satellite 5.3.0 Installation

Guide available at: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/satellite/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite-5.3.0/

html/Installation_Guide

• If you are upgrading from a previous version of Satellite consult the following Red Hat

Knowledgebase article: How is Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite upgraded to the most current

version? (Article ID: 8610) http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_49_8610.shtm
