Adding an HP-UX patch to a software policy

After you create an HP-UX software policy, you can add HP-UX patches, HP-UX software, and server scripts to it. Adding these does not install them on a managed server. You must attach the software policy to a managed server and then remediate the server.

You must have permissions to add an HP-UX patch, HP-UX software, and server scripts to an HP-UX software policy. To obtain these permissions, contact your system administrator. See the SA 10.50 Administration Guide for more information about software management permissions.
