Table 22-1
Deploying System Updates column descriptions
Column Heading
Explanation
Update Name
Displays the name of the update, which is created by Novell.
Click the name to access the Status by Device page. You can also click the
underlined number in the
Pending
,
Successful
, or
Failed
columns to view the
appropriate Status by Device page, filtered to display devices with that status.
Start Schedule
Displays the current schedule, if any has been set. Use the Reschedule
Deployment action to reschedule the update. For more information, see
Section 22.4, “Rescheduling a Deployment,” on page 206
.
Each device can have its own schedule.
Reboot Behavior
Displays the reboot behavior of devices after the update is deployed.
Some updates do not require a device to be rebooted after they have been
deployed to a device. However, if a reboot is required to complete the update
process, the deployment is not completed until the device is rebooted.
You have the following reboot options:
Prompt User to Reboot When Update Finishes Applying:
After the
update has been applied, a request to reboot is immediately displayed.
If the user initially rejects rebooting, the user is periodically requested to
reboot the device, until the device is rebooted. This is the default.
Do Not Reboot Device:
The device does not reboot; however, the user
is periodically requested to reboot the device, until the device is
rebooted.
Force Device to Reboot:
After the update has been applied, the
device is automatically rebooted without user intervention, if a reboot is
required by the update.
Stage
Indicates the deployment state. The possible entries are:
stage_name
:
The update is being deployed to the managed devices that are
members of the current stage that is listed.
Selected Devices Stage:
The update is being deployed to selected
managed devices without the use of stages.
All Devices Stage:
The update is being deployed to all managed devices in
the Management Zone without the use of stages.
All Devices Stage
is displayed after the last stage has completed, which
means any devices left in the Management Zone that were not part of a
completed stage are then receiving the update. In other words, managed
devices cannot skip an update.
If stages are being used, click a stage name to view the device status for
each stage member. For more information, see
Section 22.8, “Viewing Status
by Device,” on page 207
.
