Display method
Log in to the management console.
Use either of the following methods to display the server list:
Select Configuration management from the menu in the management console.
Click the Server list link in the Home window.
Note
This window shows a list of the servers within the range managed by the login user.
Infrastructure administrators can look up information about all servers.
Dual-role administrators can look up information about all servers.
Tenant administrators can look up information about the servers associated with their tenants (organization) to which they belong.
Tenant users can look up information about the servers that they manage.
Note
Solaris servers are not managed by Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager. Even if Solaris servers have been deployed using ServerView Resource Orchestrator, they will not be displayed in the Server list window.
Note
Conditions under which servers are counted as servers with unapplied patches
The conditions under which servers are counted as servers with unapplied patches differ with Windows patches, Linux patches, and Fujitsu middleware patches. These conditions are explained separately as below:
Number of servers with unapplied Windows patches
The number of servers with unapplied Windows patches is the number of servers where the patches authorized by WSUS have not been applied.
Number of servers with unapplied Linux patches
The number of servers with unapplied Linux patches is the number of servers where the patches registered with the yum repository server and have been defined as the management target have not been applied.
Number of servers with unapplied Fujitsu middleware patches
The number of servers with unapplied Fujitsu middleware patches is the number of servers where the Fujitsu middleware patches distributed by Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager have not been applied.
Servers with unapplied Fujitsu middleware patches are not counted as servers with unapplied patches unless these patches have been distributed by Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager.
Operation method
Specify the conditions for filtering the information in the server list.
Display item | Description |
|---|---|
Filter | The following filter conditions can be specified. Multiple filter conditions can be specified
|
The following table shows the items that are displayed in the server list:
Display item | Description |
|---|---|
Checkbox | Selecting a checkbox selects the corresponding server as a target server for patch application. |
Server name | This column displays the server names. Clicking a server name link displays the Server Details window. |
L-Platform name | This column displays the L-Platform names. |
Tenant name | This column displays the tenant names. |
IP address | This column displays the IP addresses. |
Host name | This column displays the host names. |
OS | This column displays the operating system names. |
Last update | This item displays the date and time when the patch application status was registered with WSUS. This item is not displayed for Linux patches. |
Unapplied (OS) | This column displays the number of OS patches that have not been applied. |
Unapplied (MW) | This column displays the number of Fujitsu middleware patches that have not been applied. |
Note
The number of patches in the "Unapplied (OS)" column of this window may not match the number of patches to be applied as detected by the Check for Updates function on the business server.
The inconsistency arises when some patches are provided as part of a cumulative patch. This is because Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager counts all of the patches in a cumulative patch as patches that can be applied, while the Check for Updates function does not count patches in a cumulative patch as patches that can be applied.
For example, if Patch 3 is a cumulative patch containing Patch 1 and Patch 2, then Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager will detect them as three different patches that can be applied, but the Check for Updates function will detect them as one patch that can be applied.
Patches detected | Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager | Check for Updates function |
|---|---|---|
Patch 3 (containing Patch 1 and Patch 2) | D | D |
Patch 2 | D | - |
Patch 1 | D | - |
D: Detected as a patch that can be applied
-: Not detected as a patch that can be applied
If some patches are provided as part of a cumulative patch, Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager will no longer detect such patches in a cumulative patch as patches that can be applied, by having these patches unapproved on the WSUS server.
The following operations can be performed from the Server list window:
Operation button | Description |
|---|---|
Patch application wizard | By using the checkboxes to select the target servers and clicking the Patch application wizard button, a Patch Application Wizard for applying patches is displayed, which can then be used to specify the required patches and method for patch distribution and application. |
