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 management for Ubuntu
HPE Server Automation patch management for Ubuntu enables you to identify, install, and remove Ubuntu Debian package updates, and maintain a high level of security across managed servers in your organization. You can identify and install Ubuntu packages that protect against security vulnerabilities for the SA-supported Managed Server platforms.
SA automates the key aspects of patch management while offering a fine degree of control over how and under what conditions Ubuntu packages are installed. By automating the patching process, patch management can reduce the amount of downtime required for patching. SA also allows you to schedule patch activity, so that patching occurs during off-peak hours.
With Ubuntu patching in SA, you can import the metadata before importing the binary packages. You can run the Ubuntu scanner with only the metadata downloaded to determine the server vulnerabilities. Then you can run the Ubuntu package importer to import only those packages that are required by managed servers. This practice saves you storage space as well as scan and remediation processing time.
The Ubuntu Patch Management documentation contains information about how to import Ubuntu metadata and packages, scan for vulnerabilities, and install Ubuntu package updates using patch policies.
SA automates Ubuntu patching by providing the following features and capabilities:
- A central repository where packages are stored and organized in their native formats.
- A database that stores information about every package that has been applied.
- Dynamic Patch Policies that analyze platform vulnerabilities based on the latest metadata from the vendor.
- Advanced search abilities that identify servers that require package updates.
- Auditing abilities for tracking the deployment of important package updates.
