VMware VCENTER CONFIGURATION MANAGER 5.3, Getting Started Manual

Page: 177 / 274

The pre-install and post-install scripts used in the Deploy actions are remote commands, which differ from
using a VCM remote command to install a patch. The patch assessment and deployment process for
UNIX/Linux does not use remote commands. However, if you choose to deploy a patch using a user-
created remote command, be aware that the patch will not be assessed until you run an assessment.
