Set patch availability

From the SA Client

To set the default value for the availability of a newly imported patch by using the SA Client:

  1. In the navigation pane, select Administration > Patch Settings.
  2. From the Default Availability for Imported Patches drop-down list, select either:

    • Limited Availability (Default) - for patches imported into HPE Server Automation that can be installed only by patch administrators with required permissions. To obtain these permissions, contact your system administrator. See the SA 10.51 Administer section for an explanation of these permissions.
    • Available - patches can be installed on managed servers.

From the command-line script

If you are working in Offline Catalog patching mode, you can also change patch availability from the populate-opsware-update-library command-line script.

The default used by the script overrides the default set by the SA Client. For information about the script, see Downloading the Microsoft patch database from the Command Line.
