Edit Windows patch properties

You can edit the Description, Availability, Install Parameters, and Uninstall parameters of a patch.

The Availability property indicates the status of the patch in HPE Server Automation. If the Availability is Not Imported, you cannot change this property.

You can set the install and uninstall parameters on either the patch properties page or in the Patch Actions only when you are installing or uninstalling one patch at a time. The parameters on the properties page are saved in the Model Repository, but the parameters in Patch Actions are used only for that action. The parameters in Patch Actions override those on the patch properties page.

To edit the patch properties:

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

    The content pane displays all patches associated with that operating system.

  3. In the content pane, open a patch to view its properties in the Patch window.
  4. Edit any of the following fields: Description, Availability, and the Install and Uninstall parameters.
  5. From the File menu, select Save to save your changes.
