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 |

SA integration
When a server is managed by HPE Server Automation, the SA Agent installed on the server registers the server’s configuration, including its installed patches, with SA. The SA Agent repeats this registration every 24 hours. This information is immediately recorded in the Model Repository, such as data about the operating system version, hardware type, and installed software and patches. When you first provision a server with SA, the same data is immediately recorded.
When a new patch is issued, you can use the SA Client to immediately identify which servers require patching. SA provides a Software Repository where you upload patches and other software to. Using the SA Client, you access this software to install patches on the appropriate servers.
Best Practice: After a server is brought under SA management, you should install all Windows patches by using SA Windows patch management. If you install a patch manually, SA does not have data about that patch until the next software registration. If you install a patch manually, it can take as long as 24 hours until data about that server in the Model Repository is up-to-date. However, when you install patches using SA Windows patch management, the Agent immediately updates the information about the server in the Model Repository.
Note
You cannot use HPE Server Automation to uninstall a patch that was not installed by using SA Windows Patch Management.
