Viewing available SFHA updates
In the Management Server console, you can view information about Storage Foundation High Availability (SFHA) hot fixes and other updates that are available from the Veritas Services and Operations Readiness Tools (SORT) website.
The Deployment window under Settings lists available update information for all hosts in the data center. The information includes details such as the type of patch, the product version, criticality, size, and whether deployable from Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager. You can select an update and view related information on the following tabs:
Overview: Shows a distribution chart of hosts requiring the update.
Applicable Hosts: Shows information about the hosts that require the update.
You can view this information, if your user group has Admin role assigned on the Management Server perspective.
To view available operations, right-click an update. The available operations depend on the type of update and the information available for it on SORT. Operations can include viewing details about an update on the SORT website, downloading an update, and removing the update information from the repository.
You can use the Management Server console to install SFHA hot fixes; however, this requires Patch Installer Add-on.
