Progress of the acquisition can be monitored at C:\Program Files\HP\VPM\Radia\IntegrationServer\
logs\patch-acquire.log.
NOTE: The acquisition event might contain raw HTTP error codes, which must be decoded to
determine their cause. To decode HTTP error codes, see
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html or the IIS help pages located at
C:\WINNT\Help\iisHelp\common on a system where IIS is installed.
Acquisitions using the VPM Acquisition Utility
The VPM Acquisition Utility can be run from any system with Internet access to download patch
information and patch files from selected vendor websites. This information can then be imported to
the VPM server in the Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack database.
To run the acquisition tool, the VPM Acquisition Utility must be installed on the selected system. To
install this component, see the “ Installing the VPM Acquisition Utility (optional) ” section.
To configure and use the VPM Acquisition Utility to acquire patch and vulnerability updates:
1. Access the VPM Acquisition Utility from the selected system.
2. Select one or more sources from which to acquire patch updates, and click Next.
NOTE: HP updates and vulnerability scan definition files are always automatically downloaded.
NOTE: Patch acquisitions performed using the VPM Acquisition Utility cannot currently be scheduled.
NOTE: Steps 1 through 7 are only necessary the first time the VPM Acquisition Utility is used. This
information is retained for future use, with the option to modify the information each time the utility
is run.
