Best practices for resolving patch subscription issues

To enable patching, you need to subscribe to patches and schedule patch downloads to the appliance.

About patch subscription and downloads

About patch subscription and downloads

Patch subscription is the process of selecting the operating systems and applications for which you want to receive patches.

If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, you select subscription settings for each organization separately.

After you subscribe to patches, the appliance downloads them according to the schedule you set. When patches are downloaded, you can test and deploy them. You can choose to automatically deploy patches as well, but such deployment is recommended for low-risk or time-important patches only. See:

Using Smart Labels for patching

Applications that the appliance can patch

For a list of applications that the appliance can patch, go to https://support.quest.com/kb/112030, and open the attachment.

NTP service requirement

When downloading patches using HTTPS, the NTP (Network Time Protocol) service must be running on the appliance. The NTP service is required because the secure protocol uses the current date stamps from the appliance to ensure certificate validity. If the NTP service is not running, patch download failures, suggesting invalid certificates, might result.

Websites that must be accessible to the appliance

Websites that must be accessible to the appliance

To complete patch downloads, access product information, and interact with Quest Support, the firewall, DNS server, and proxy server settings must allow the appliance to access specific domains on both port 80 and port 443.

Refer to the link for the websites that must be accessible to the appliance:

Overview of first-time patch-subscription workflow

Overview of first-time patch-subscription workflow

Patch detection signatures and patch packages are not downloaded to the appliance by default. You must subscribe to the patches you want and then schedule a time to download them.

To save network bandwidth and disk space, Quest recommends that you download patch definition signatures first, because they are much smaller in size than patch packages. Then you can detect the patches that you need, and select the download settings that work best for your network.

The following workflow is for first-time patch-subscription.

1.
Gather information: Identify the operating systems, language packages, and applications installed on managed devices so that you know what you need to subscribe to. You can find this information on the appliance Dashboard page as well as by running reports. See View details about operating systems and applications.
2.
Select initial patch subscription settings: Subscribe to the operating systems and languages required by managed devices. See Subscribing to patches and configuring download settings.
3.
Download patch detection signatures: Patch detection signatures are smaller files that can be downloaded quickly and do not require much disk space. Download the patch detection signatures of the patches you subscribe to. Downloading these signatures enables you to view available patches and identify the patch packages you want to download later. See Select patch and feature update download settings.
4.
Run a detect-only patching job: Schedule a Detect-only patching job to identify the patches required by managed devices. A detect-only patching job is a one-time operation that shows how large the first patching job is going to be. Also, it indicates how to allocate resources based on device availability for patch installations and reboots. To run a detect-only patching job, create a patching schedule that detects patches on all devices. See Configuring patch schedules.
5.
Select patch package download settings: After you have identified the patch packages that you need, set a time for package downloads to occur. See Select patch and feature update download settings.
