Patch application is set up by first selecting the patches that are to be applied.
Point
The explanations in this section assume that the roles of the people who distribute and apply patches can be classified as follows:
Infrastructure administrators are responsible for patch management (management for WSUS, yum repository servers and the media library).
Infrastructure administrators do not distribute or apply patches.
When an error occurs with the patch distribution/application processing, a message may be output to the event log or syslog. If this happens, infrastructure administrators need to check the content of the message and take the necessary action such as reviewing the environment settings.
Tenant administrators use the management console to distribute and apply patches to their tenant's servers.
Tenant users distribute and apply patches to those servers that they manage themselves.
Dual-role administrators have the roles of both infrastructure administrators and tenant administrators. When acting as a tenant administrator, a dual-role administrator can distribute and apply patches to the servers in all tenancies.
