About managing the SFHA update information on Management Server
Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager helps you ensure that your hosts are up to date with respect to updates for Storage Foundation High Availability (SFHA) products that are installed on the managed hosts.
In the Management Server console, you can view new updates available for Storage Foundation High Availability (SFHA) products that are installed on the managed hosts. Updates can include hot fixes, maintenance releases, and base releases.
To generate the correct update report for the managed hosts, Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager requires the latest information on the updates for these products. Veritas updates the latest information on the product updates on the Veritas Services and Operations Readiness Tools (SORT) website as a script file. Management Server requires HTTPS connectivity with the SORT server for downloading this information.
You can configure Management Server to download the product update information from SORT automatically when Management Server is continuously connected to the Internet. You can set a schedule for the automatic download. The default is every Sunday at noon. If Management Server does not have connectivity with the SORT server, you can set up a proxy server.
