Mesh conflicts after importing patches

Symptoms

After importing patch metadata in WSUS patching mode, SA shows a list of mesh conflicts in the Conflict view.

Cause

You have enabled WSUS patching mode on a core while another core in the SA mesh is trying to import patches from the Offline Catalog.

SA cannot synchronize incompatible patching actions across the cores of a mesh.

Solution

  1. Make sure that all your mesh cores are set to the same patching mode.
  2. Check any scheduled cron jobs to make sure you are not running the populate-opsware-update-library script while the WSUS patching mode is enabled on a core.
  3. Resolve all the reported mesh conflicts.
