Patch installation

Patch management provides the following two phases in the patch installation process:

Phase 1—Download/Staging: This is when the patch is downloaded from HPE Server Automation to the managed server. This phase is commonly referred to as staging.
Phase 2—Installation/Deployment: This is when the patch is installed on a managed server. This phase is commonly referred to as deployment.

You can specify whether you want the installation to occur immediately after the patch is downloaded (staged) or you can schedule the installation to occur at a later date and time. Ubuntu Patch Management also supports the need for best-effort installations of multiple patches by allowing you to specify that the patch installation process will continue even when an error occurs with one of the patches.

Ubuntu Patch Management displays the name of the command, such as a .deb file and any predefined command-line arguments, that the SA Agent runs on the managed server to install the patch. You can override these default command-line arguments.

To help you optimally manage Ubuntu patch installation, Patch Management allows you to manage server reboot options, specify pre and post installation scripts, simulate (preview) a patch installation, and set up email notifications to alert you about the status of the installation process. The Install Patch wizard guides you through setting up these conditions.
