Patch compliance

In HPE Server Automation, patch management enables you to identify, install, and remove patches on managed servers and groups of servers. Using Windows patch management, you can identify and install patches for Windows Server 2003 and above, and operating systems, including Service Packs, Update Rollups, and hotfixes.

In the Compliance view, you can review the compliance status for patch policies to see whether your servers have the correct patches installed on them. During a patch compliance scan, HPE Server Automation checks managed servers and public device groups to determine whether all patches in a policy and a policy exception were installed successfully. If the patches installed (or not installed) on the server do not match the patch policy definitions, the Compliance view displays the server’s patch policies as Non-Compliant

Compliance scans can be run on a one-time basis or they can be scheduled on a recurring basis. You can remediate a patch policy to a server to ensure a server’s or group of servers’s patch compliance.

See "Server patching" in the SA 10.60 Use section for more information.
