On-demand patch installation

On-demand patch installation can be done in three ways according to your preferences:

  • Go to the list of patches (Software management > Patches) and install the necessary patches.
  • Go to the list of vulnerabilities (Software management > Vulnerabilities) and start the remediation process which includes patch installation as well.
  • Go to the list of devices (Devices > All devices), select the particular machines that you want to update, and install patches on them.

Let's consider patch installation from the list of patches:

  1. In the service console, go to Software management > Patches.
  2. Accept the license agreements for the patches that you want to install.
  3. Select the patches that you want to install and click Install.
  4. Select the machines on which patches must be installed.

  5. Define whether reboot is initiated after installing patches:

    • Never – reboot will never be initiated after the patches.
    • If required – reboot is done only if it is required for applying the patches.
    • Always – reboot will be always initiated after the patches. You can always specify the reboot delay.

    Do not reboot until backup is finished – if the backup process is running, the machine reboot will be delayed until the backup is completed.

  6. Click Install patches.

The selected patches will be installed on the selected machines.
