HP provides security updates for all non-operating-system components delivered by HP as part
of the HP SFS G3 product distribution. This includes all rpm's delivered in /opt/hp/
sfs
. Additionally, HP SFS G3 servers run a customized kernel which is modified to provide
Lustre support. Generic kernels cannot be used on the HP SFS G3 servers. For this reason, HP
also provides kernel security updates for critical vulnerabilities as defined by CentOS kernel
releases which are based on RedHat errata kernels. These kernel security patches are delivered
via ITRC along with installation instructions.
It is the customer's responsibility to monitor, download, and install user space security updates
for the Linux operating system installed on the SFS G3 servers, as deemed necessary, using
standard methods available for CentOS. CentOS security updates can be monitored by subscribing
to the CentOS Announce mailing list.
