Deploying patches without a vulnerability scan
If a patch is released that must be deployed immediately, the patch can be applied without running a
scan. In normal circumstances, HP recommends running a scan before deploying patches.
To deploy patches to systems without running a scan:
1. Select Deploy>Vulnerability and Patch Management>Patch without a Scan.
2. Select the target systems to patch either by selecting a group from the dropdown list or by
selecting the individual systems.
3. Click Apply.
4. Verify that the correct target systems appear in the lists, click Add Targets or Remove Targets, if
necessary to reselect target systems, and click Next.
