Quick start to patch management

This quick start is an overview of how to download, install, and maintain patches on SA managed servers in your IT environment. This section identifies the steps required to set up and manage patches for all supported operating systems.

The following figure shows the general workflow for downloading patches, testing them, adding them to SA policies, attaching policies to servers, attaching servers to policies, remediating servers to install patches, running compliance scans to determine which servers are out of compliance, and remediating servers to bring them back into compliance. SA policies are either patch policies or software policies, and are used according to the operating system you are patching.
