Viewing the product updates for a host
Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager Management Server can connect to Veritas Services and Operations Readiness Tools (SORT) to retrieve information on the product updates that Veritas has released. In the host Properties dialog box, you can view information on Storage Foundation High Availability (SFHA) updates that are installed on the host or available and not yet installed.
Product and update information includes release type, date, and criticality of available updates. For installed updates, the information includes whether an installed update is obsolete or superseded by another release of the same type, for example, if a hot fix has been superseded by a more recent hot fix.
You can view this information related to the hosts for which your user group has at least Guest role explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization. You can also view the information if your user group has a Guest role assigned on the Server perspective.
To view the product updates for a host
- In the Management Server console, go to the Server perspective and expand Manage in the left pane.
- Expand the Organization or Uncategorized Hosts to locate the host.
- Right-click the host and click Properties.
- Click the Products tab.
- Select a product and click the Installed updates or Available updates tabs below.
- For more information on an available update, double-click the update. The Deployments window lists all information that has been retrieved from SORT. From that window you can select an update and view more details on the SORT website.
