Viewing patch installation status
You can view consolidated reports showing patch installation status for all systems managed by
Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack. The VPM Patch Agent updates the patch database with a
list of all applicable patches, including patches installed by methods other than Vulnerability and
Patch Management Pack. Patch reports display the installation status of these patches for each system.
The recommended method for determining required patches is performing a vulnerability scan.
You can view reports by systems or patches. A search filter is also available to view the status of a
particular patch on a particular system.
Information displayed in patch reports is obtained during the most recent patch deployment or
validation task and, therefore, might not be current. The patch installation status can be updated by
validating installed patches. For information, see the “ Validating installed patches ” section.
Viewing patch installation status by patch
1. Select Diagnose>Vulnerability and Patch Management>View Patch Installation Status>View by
Patch.
2. To filter the list of displayed patches, select the appropriate patch source from the list. To view
information about a specific patch, click the patch identification number in the Advisory column.
