Display method
Log in to the management console.
Use either of the following methods to display the Summary window:
Select Patch management from the menu in the management console.
Click the Patch management link in the Home window.
Operation method
The number of servers indicates the number of servers with unapplied patches.
OS patches and Fujitsu middleware patches in the Windows servers tab
Number of servers where required patches have not been applied
Number of servers where recommended patches have not been applied
OS patches in the Linux servers tab
Number of servers with unapplied patches
For Windows patches and Fujitsu middleware patches, the number of servers with unapplied patches is counted separately for "Required" patches and "Recommended" patches.
For Linux patches, the number of servers with unapplied patches is counted.
If an infrastructure administrator logs in, the total number of applicable servers collected from all managed servers will be displayed. If a tenant administrator or tenant user logs in, the results will be filtered so that only the number of applicable servers collected from the tenancies or servers managed by the tenant administrator or tenant user will be displayed.
If an infrastructure administrator logs in, the results displayed can also be filtered by tenants.
The List of Servers with Unapplied Patches window is displayed when the OS patches or Fujitsu middleware patches link or the link for each number (of servers with unapplied patches) is clicked.
Note
Patches with prerequisite patches
For Windows patches, if a patch has a prerequisite patch and neither the patch nor the prerequisite patch have been applied to a business server, the business server may not be counted as a server with unapplied patches, even though it has the same environment (the same operating system) as other business servers.
This is because when the patch is released by WSUS it is managed as an "applicable" patch but when a "check for update programs" operation is performed on the business server the patch will be managed as "not applicable" if the prerequisite patch has not been applied.
Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager does not handle "not applicable" patches as unapplied patches when counting the number of servers with unapplied patches.
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.
OS patches in the Windows patches tab
Number of new required patches
Number of new recommended patches
The patches that have been newly released by the operating system vendor during the Period displayed are output as the number of new patches. The Period is the last one month, counting backwards from the day when the user logged in.
Fujitsu middleware patches
Number of new required patches
Number of new recommended patches
The patches that have been registered with Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager during the Period displayed are output as the number of new patches. The Period is the last one month, counting backwards from the day when the user logged in.
OS patches in the Linux patches tab
Number of new patches
The RPM packages that have been defined as the management target for Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager and registered with yum during the Period displayed are output as the number of new patches. The Period is the last one month, counting backwards from the day when the user logged in.
The List of New Patches window is displayed when the OS patches or Fujitsu middleware patches link or the link for each number (of servers with unapplied patches) is clicked.
