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 |

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.
