2.6 Patch Application Wizard

Patch application is set up by first selecting the servers where the patches are to be applied.

Point

The roles of the people who distribute and apply patches

The explanations in this section assume that the roles of the people who distribute and apply patches can be classified as follows:

Infrastructure administrator
  • 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 administrator
  • Tenant administrators use the management console to distribute and apply patches to the servers for the tenants to which they belong.

Tenant user
  • Tenant users distribute and apply patches to those servers that they manage themselves.

Dual-role administrator
  • 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.
