HP-UX Software Assistant Administration Guide: HP-UX 11i Systems > Chapter 4 Creating and Interpreting Reports
The Action Report |
|
|
The Action report is a to-do list of patches and patch bundles to install, plus a list of manual actions. This report does not include explanations as to why the actions are required; for this information, see the Detail report. The patch and patch bundle actions can be taken care of by installing the depot created by the SWA commands swa get and swa step depot. The depot includes all the patches and patch bundles listed in the Action report, which includes all dependent patches. This allows you to install the depot on any system, but the depot might include patches already installed on your target system. The manual actions require individual, specialized actions as described in the Manual Actions section. If you have issues that SWA does not have recommendations for (unresolved issues), the Action report will warn that the recommended actions are an incomplete solution. Information on unresolved issues can be found in the Detail report. The Action report is included in the HTML report. It is created and displayed to standard output by default. It begins with the Assessment Profile and then is followed by the Patch Bundles, Patches, and Manual Actions sections. Bundles listed here are Quality Pack (QPK) bundles. Quality pack bundles includes stable patches for core HP-UX, graphics, and networking drivers. Depending on your release, there are two possible QPK bundles, QPKAPPS and QPKBASE. Both bundles are included in the QPK depot. If the QPK bundles include patches with warnings, the fix patches will be listed in the Patches section of this report and the patch bundles will be identified as an issue in the Issue report. The listed bundles are not found on the target system, but no information is provided as to what bundle contents are missing. The bundle equivalency of the QPK contents can be detected with the CHAIN and PATCH analyzers. The patches listed in this section are required in addition to those in a QPK bundle – they are available individually on the ITRC website. Software Assistant will recommend the newest patch in the chain to resolve the issue. If unexpected patches are seen in the list, they are usually included as dependencies or to address warnings. The detail report can provide the rationale for all patches. SWA creates all depots with all requisites included. This allows installation on any system but might include patches that can't be installed on a specific system. If you have a QPK bundle listed under Patch Bundles, this will not be a complete list of patches to install since QPK patches are not included in this list. These actions require direct administrator response and include product (non-patch) updates, product removal, manually updating files, and other manual actions, such as direct file system changes. Security bulletins are listed only if manual actions are required. If a patch satisfies a security bulletin, it will be included in the QPK patch bundle or listed explicitly in the Patches section. The date listed for security bulletins is the date the bulletin was posted or last updated. A detection confidence rating is included with the action. Note that SWA can only detect software that has been installed with swinstall. The ratings are:
Manual actions that result in the installation or removal of software might cause changes to the list of recommended patches. After resolving the product changes identified as manual actions, it is recommended a new analysis is run to create the most accurate patch recommendations. The following example illustrates how one issue, a required Security Bulletin 02284r4, can generate multiple manual actions. See the Detail report for a detailed cross-reference of actions to issues.
