About Patch Installer Add-on

InfoScale Operations Manager Management Server can provide information about updates available for Storage Foundation High Availability (SFHA) product versions and platforms that are managed by InfoScale Operations Manager.

Update information is retrieved from Services and Operations Readiness Tools (SORT). SORT is a website that helps you manage your InfoScale products.

You can use the Management Server console to download SFHA updates. Patch Installer Add-on adds the capability of using the Management Server console to deploy and install supported SFHA hot fixes on the managed hosts that require them. Supported hot fixes are those that have been configured as deployable by InfoScale Operations Manager. The Management Server console shows which hot fixes are deployable.

Patch Installer Add-on is installed on the Management Server only.

You can also use Management Server console to customize an SFHA hot fix by adding custom perl scripts for pre-installation and post-installation tasks. For example, you could add scripts to stop and then restart your applications.

See Adding pre-installation and post-installation scripts to SFHA hot fixes.
