Client Configuration Guide OverviewUpdated: 2021-02-25Registering clients is the first step after installing Uyuni, and most of the time you spend with Uyuni isspent on maintaining those clients.Uyuni is compatible with a range of client technologies: you can install traditional or Salt clients, runningSUSE Linux Enterprise or another Linux operating system, with a range of hardware options.For a complete list of supported clients and features, see [ Client-configuration › Supported-features ›].This guide discusses how to register and configure different clients, both manually and automatically.1 / 191 Uyuni 2021.02
Supported Client SystemsSupported Clients and FeaturesUyuni is compatible with a range of client technologies. You can install traditional or Salt clients, runningSUSE Linux Enterprise or another Linux operating system, with a range of hardware options.This section contains summary of supported client systems. For a detailed list of features available on eachclient, see the following pages.Supported Client SystemsSupported operating systems for traditional and Salt clients are listed in this table.The icons in this table indicate: clients running this operating system are supported by SUSE clients running this operating system are not supported by SUSE clients are under consideration, and may or may not be supported at a later date. Client operating system versions and SP levels must be under general support(normal or LTSS) to be supported with Uyuni. For details on supported productversions, see https://www.suse.com/lifecycle. The operating system you run on a client is supported by the organization thatsupplies the operating system.Table 1.
