If you want to locate managed systems that need updates for IBM Director Agent or for xSeries drivers
or firmware, you can use the Software Health Check to find the managed systems.
After you have imported a package using IBM Update
Assistant, you can use Software Health Check to locate the managed systems
that require the update.
註: The XML file associated with the package must
be enabled for Software Health Check.
Complete the following steps to
perform a software health check for a selected package:
In the Tasks pane of the IBM Director Console ,
expand Software Distribution > All
Software Distribution Packages.
Right-click the package or category for which you want to locate
managed systems that need the update and select Perform Health
Check.
When the Software Health Check is complete,
the Software Health Check Log window shows the managed systems that require
the update, as well as the current version of the installed software. A dynamic
group that contains all of the managed systems that need the update is also
created. The group name is the title of the software package, preceded by Health:.
For example, the group name for an update titled, IBM Hard Disk Drive Update
Program (Windows) is Health: IBM Hard Disk Drive Update Program (Windows).
If a managed system that needs the update comes online after Software Health
Check is performed, the dynamic group is automatically updated.
註: If
Software Health Check is performed on a software-package category, each package
in the category is checked. A single dynamic group is created that contains
each managed system that requires an update for any of the packages in the
category.
