System Types

Clients are categorized by system type. Every client can have both a base system type, and an add-on system type assigned.

Base system type is Salt for all clients.

Add-on system types include:

  • Virtualization Host: Assigned to clients that operate as physical virtual hosts/hypervisors (such as KVM). Setting this system type is required to allow the daily Taskomatic job to query the system directly (via libvirt) and inventory its running virtual machines for display under Systems  System List  Virtual Systems and for subscription matching.

  • Container Build Host: Assigned to clients that operate as a build host.

Adjust the add-on system type

  1. In the Uyuni Web UI, navigate to Systems  System List  System Types.

  2. Check the clients you want to change the add-on system type for.

  3. Select the Add-On System Type.

  4. Click either Add System Type or Remove System Type.
