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 |

Set reboot options for remediation
To minimize the downtime that server reboots can cause, you can control when servers reboot during a patch installation.
You can specify the reboot options in the following SA Client Ubuntu locations:
- Patch Properties window—Install Parameters tab
- Remediate window—Pre & Post Actions step
Best Practice: When you are selecting reboot options in the Remediate window, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you use Ubuntu’s reboot recommendations, which is the Reboot servers as specified by individual software items option. If it is not possible to use the Ubuntu reboot setting, select the single reboot option, which is the Hold all server reboots until after all packages are installed and/or uninstalled option. Failure to do this can result in incorrectly reporting which patches are installed on the server until the next reboot occurs (outside of SA control).
The following options in the Remediate window determine whether the servers are rebooted after the patch is installed. These options apply only to the job launched by the Remediate window. They do not change the Reboot Required option, which is in the Install Parameters tab of the Patch Properties window. Except for the first option, the following options override the Reboot Required option.
- Reboot servers as specified by individual software items (Default): By default, the decision to reboot depends on the Reboot Required option of the patch or package properties.
- Reboot servers after each installation or uninstallation: As a best practice, reboot the server after every patch or package installation or uninstallation, regardless of the vendor reboot setting on the individual patch or package.
- Hold all server reboots until after all packages are installed and/or uninstalled: If the Reboot Required option is set for some selected patches but not for others, the server is rebooted one time after all patches are installed. If the Reboot Required option is not set for any of the selected patches, the server is not rebooted.
- Suppress all server reboots: Even if the Reboot Required option of the patch properties is set, do not reboot the server. (Because of vendor settings, some patches ignore the suppress option and force a reboot.
To set reboot options:
- From the Remediate window, click Next to advance to the Options step.
- Select one of the Rebooting options.
- Click Next to go to the next step or click Close to close the Remediate window.
