Importing a Windows patch from the SA Client Library

Windows patches are downloaded from the Microsoft web site and then imported (uploaded) into Server Automation. To verify whether a patch has been imported, view the patch’s Availability property. The Availability of an imported patch is either Limited, Available, or Deprecated.

Best Practice:A patch can be imported with the SA Client or with the populate-opsware-update-library script. The SA Client is better for downloading selected patches. For information about using the script, see Downloading the Microsoft patch database from the Command Line .

To import a patch with the SA Client:

In the navigation pane, select Library > By Type > Patches.
Expand the Package Repository and select a specific Windows operating system.

The content pane displays all patches associated with that operating system.
In the content pane, select a patch.
To import a patch directly from the Microsoft web site, from the Actions menu, select Import Contents> Import from Vendor.

The Import from Vendor window displays the URL of the patch’s location on the Microsoft web site. (Optional) You can override this URL.

Or

To import a patch that has already been downloaded to your local file system, from the Actions menu, select Import>Import from File.

In the file browser window, locate the patch.
Click Import.
