Patch management for SUSE Linux Enterprise

HPE Server Automation patch management for SUSE Linux Enterprise enables you to manage security and non-security patches for your SUSE-supported managed servers. It allows you to identify, install, and audit SUSE package updates, keeping a high level of security across managed servers in your organization.

In SA, patches are the equivalent of SUSE errata. The latter are package updates, bug fixes, and security patches for Linux Enterprise.

High-level architecture

The SA SUSE patching mechanism allows you to import patches from SUSE or from other sources, scan managed servers to determine their current patching level, and perform the deployment of patches. Finally, the server can be checked for compliance against the recommended set of patches.

A typical SUSE patching use case follows a well-defined process. Patches are first imported into SA. This is followed by an optional step where you can manage the patches. Once the recommended patches are included in one or multiple software policies, the servers can be remediated. After the remediation occurs, the patched servers can be checked for compliance.
