3.5.2 Updating Packages for a Host

When updated packages are available on your local Package Manager, you can update the packages installed on individual hosts or for all hosts in a domain. The distribution agent performs a number of checks to ensure that the host has adequate disk space to extract and install the package. If there is insufficient space, the package is not updated.

  1. On the home page of the console, click Hosts.

  2. In the navigation pane, select either the host or the domain where you want to update the packages.

  3. Click Update Domain Packages or Update Packages in the task pane.

    The console checks for updates on your Package Manager and displays any updated packages available for download.

  4. Select the packages from the list.

    To select multiple packages, press the Ctrl key and select the packages one at a time, or press the Shift key to select a consecutive list of packages. To select all packages, use Ctrl+A.

    NOTE:The Create Backup option which creates a backup of the currently installed packages is selected by default. Only the last backup is stored. Creating backups requires additional space.

    If necessary, you can use the Rollback Packages option to roll back to the previously backed-up packages.

  5. Click Next to start downloading the selected packages.

  6. Click Finish.
