Comment 1 Melissa Goldin 2005-09-08 19:43:02 UTC
Suggested replacement text for FAQ 189:

What are the differences between Provisioning, Monitoring, Management, and
Update Accounts?

Provisioning service level subscriptions to Red Hat Network encompass all of the
features offered in Update and Management subscriptions and allow you to easily
deploy new systems using kickstarts, package rollbacks, and configuration file
management.

Monitoring service level subscriptions to Red Hat Network, available for
Satellite customers, allow organizations to monitor the health of their Red Hat
Enterprise Linux systems.  Utilizing probes, Satellites with Monitoring-entitled
clients can detect degradations in system performance, allowing administrators
to correct issues before they cause system failure.

Management service level subscriptions to Red Hat Network allow organizations to
manage multiple systems, individually or in groups of systems. Management
subscriptions efficiently combine the power and flexibility of fine-grained
control with the scalability to support thousands of systems.

Update service level subscriptions to Red Hat Network allow individuals to
register a single system, manage that system, receive priority acces to Red hat
Network, and download Easy ISOs (full versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux). 
Each Red Hat Enterprise Linux system comes with a free Update entitlement to Red
Hat Network.

rnorwood kindly offered to help me figure out how to update said text - I've
pinged him, but as it's late on a QA push day, it may be tomorrow before this
gets in to the system.

Comment 3 Melissa Goldin 2005-09-14 19:15:53 UTC
It helps if I send the email to the correct address.  

Corrected email sent to rnorwood

Comment 4 Melissa Goldin 2005-09-15 20:09:30 UTC
I've made some changes to the text I'll enter into the FAQ b/c of rnorwood's
feedback.  Max, could you review the text for technical accuracy before I edit
the actual FAQ?  Thanks!

New text will read:
What are the differences between Update, Management, Provisioning, and
Monitoring entitlements?

Update entitlements to Red Hat Network allow individuals to register a single
system, manage that system, receive priority access to Red Hat Network, and
download Easy ISOs (full versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux).  Each Red Hat
Enterprise Linux system comes with a free Update entitlement to Red Hat Network.

Management entitlements to Red Hat Network allow organizations to manage
multiple systems both individually and in groups of systems.  Management
entitlements efficiently combine the power and flexibility of fine-grained
control with the scalability to support thousands of systems.

Provisioning entitlements are applied to systems that have a Management base
entitlement.  The Provisioning entitlement allows you to easily deploy new
systems using kickstarts, package rollbacks, and configuration file management.

Monitoring entitlements to Red Hat Network, available for Satellite customers,
allow organizations to monitor the health of their Red Hat Enterprise Linux
systems.  Utilizing probes, Satellites with Monitoring-entitled clients can
notify administrators of system performance issues before they become critical.
 Monitoring entitlements also require a base Management entitlement.

Comment 5 Max Spevack 2005-09-16 14:37:35 UTC
Looks good -- one suggestion, though.  You have

"Update entitlements to Red Hat Network..."
"Management entitlements to Red Hat Network..."
"Provisioning entitlements..."
"Monitoring entitlements to Red Hat Network..."

Should we make the Provisioning line read the same as the other 3, or
is it different for a reason?

Uh, I guess I'll set to NEEDINFO.

Okay, the changes made above are live.  The updates can be verified here:
https://rhn.redhat.com/help/faq/service_levels.pxt#189

I'll review and update the rest of that page and put the changes in BZ 166003:
