Deploying patches and fixes 74
NOTE: If the VPM Patch Agent deployment failed, be sure that the system is accessible by selecting
Options>Protocol Settings>System Protocol Settings and verifying that the WBEM credentials have
been configured properly.
To deploy the VPM Patch Agent to systems to enable patching:
1. Select Deploy>Vulnerability and Patch Management>VPM Patch Agent.
2. Select the target systems on which to deploy the VPM Patch Agent either by selecting a group
from the dropdown list or by selecting the 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.
5. If any selected systems are unlicensed or licensed with a time-limited license, permanent licenses
can be applied at this time. If licenses are available, select any unlicensed system in the list to
license, and click Apply License. To add licenses using a key string, click Add Key, enter the key
string in the field, and click OK.
IMPORTANT: If systems listed as Unknown or Unmanaged in HP SIM are selected for licensing, a
server license is assumed and automatically applied. HP recommends modifying the HP SIM settings
to properly identify systems before licensing.
