4.7. Schedule
If you click the

can be scheduled to apply all Errata Updates to a system.

1. Package Installations — For more information on how to perform package installations, refer
to Section 4.6.5 Software Packages .
2. Errata Updates — For more information on how to apply Errata Updates, refer to Section 4.5.2.1

3. Hardware Profile Updates — To schedule a hardware profile refresh, go to a system list under
the Systems category, click on the name of the system, click the Hardware tab of the System
Details
page, and click the
Schedule Hardware Refresh
button.
4. Package List Profile Updates — To schedule a package list profile refresh, go to a system list
under the
Systems
category, click on the name of the system, click the
Packages

Each page in the
