Install a patch

Before a patch can be installed on a managed server, it must be imported into Server Automation and its status must be Available. Administrators who have the required permissions can install patches that are marked Limited.

Note You must have a set of permissions to manage patches. To obtain these permissions, contact your SA Administrator. See the SA 10.51 Administer section.

You can perform the installation by explicitly selecting patches and servers.

To install a patch on a managed server:

In the navigation pane, select Library and then select Patches.
Expand the Patches and select a specific Unix operating system.
In the content pane, select a patch.
From the View drop-down list, select Servers (or Server Groups).
From the Show drop-down list, select Servers without Patch Installed (or Server Groups without Patch Installed).
In the preview pane, select one or more servers.
From the Actions menu, select Install Patch.

The first step of the Install Patch window appears: Servers and Server Groups. For instructions on each step, see the following sections:
After you have completed a step, click Next to advance to the next step. Before you click Start Job, you can return to a completed step to make changes by clicking on it in the list of steps.
When you are ready to launch the installation job, click Start Job.

After you launch the job, you cannot change its parameters, even if the job is scheduled to run at a later time.

If the Install Patch window remains open until the job completes, SA updates the Patch Compliance column in the All Managed Servers window with the revised compliance count (in parenthesis) for affected servers. Press F5 or select Refresh from the View menu to update information in the patch preview pane.
