The system sandbox is where spacewalk imports files from the client to the server.
For example, you import /etc/resolv.conf from the client using the import function on the spacewalk server. This will copy the file into the sandbox of the client system. From there you can edit the file and then place it either into a locally-managed channel (aka "system channel") or a centrally managed channel. Thus, if you want to deploy the imported /etc/resolv.conf file to many clients you would copy it to a centrally-managed channel to deploy it too all those clients and have the same /etc/resolv.conf file on all those clients. If, however, you want to use this resolv.conf file only on this specific system you would copy it to the system channel for that client. For example, if you have subscribed this client to a central configuration channel which provides a version of /etc/resolv.conf but you need a specific, different version on this specific client, you could use this local-managed version to deploy this special version to this client. -Gerald On 07.12.2012 11:40, Mohit Vadhera wrote: > Thanks Gerald, I read "The uploaded file will be placed in your system > sandbox." what is system sandbox ? where it is located on the server? > > Thanks, > > > > On Fri, Dec 7, 2012 at 1:36 PM, Gerald Vogt <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > The local managed file only applies to a single system/client. > > Centralized managed files are taken from a configuration channel and > applies to all systems subscribed to the channel. > > Of course, local managed files overwrite centralized managed files. > > -Gerald > > > > On 07.12.2012 08:05, Mohit Vadhera wrote: > > What is the purpose of Local Managed files and centralized Managed > files > > in configuration ? > > > > > > Thanks, > > Mohit > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Spacewalk-list mailing list > > [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list > > > > _______________________________________________ > Spacewalk-list mailing list > [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Spacewalk-list mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list > _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
