If you want to update out-of-date managed systems identified by
running Software Health Check, you can distribute the update package to the
corresponding dynamic group that was generated by Software Health Check.
Complete the following steps to distribute an update to managed systems
that were identified by Software Health Check:
- In the Groups pane of IBM Director Console,
expand Software Health Groups and locate the group
that was generated for the update package by Software Health Check. The group
is titled: Health: Update Package Name.
- In the Tasks pane of IBM Director Console,
expand and locate the update
software package or software-package category that you want to distribute.
- From the Tasks pane, drag the software package
or software-package category onto the Health group with the corresponding
title.
- Click Execute Now, or click Schedule to
schedule the distribution for a later time.
After the software is distributed and inventory is collected, the
dynamic group will change to reflect the current status of the software update.
If the package update on each managed system is successful, then after inventory
is collected, no systems will appear in the dynamic group. You can perform
a custom collection on the following inventory items to update the dynamic
group:
- Device Drivers
- Director Systems
- Firmware
- Operating System
- Physical Enclosure
You can delete the dynamic group when you no longer need it.
