Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Installation flags Windows
You can specify installation flags that are applied whenever a Windows patch is installed. However, HPE Server Automation also uses default installation flags and requires that patches are installed with these flags. Therefore, you must be sure that you do not specify any installation flags that override or contradict the default flags passed by HPE Server Automation. SeeSet install optionsfor information about how to specify commands and flags.
Note
Some Windows hotfixes do not support the -z flag, some do not support the -q flag, and some do not support either. In such cases, you must use a special expression: /-z or /-q or /-z -q respectively. This prevents Windows patch management from passing in the -z or ‑q or -z -q flag. By default, SA adds /z /q to the command line arguments when installing patches. To override this, specify /-z /-q. For example, if you prefer to not suppress the reboot, specify /-z.
The following table lists the default installation flags that HPE Server Automation uses.
Windows patch type |
Flags |
---|---|
Windows Hotfix |
-q -z |
Windows Security Rollup Package |
-q -z |
Windows OS Service Pack |
-u -n -o -q -z |
