Patch catalog - CentOS

The RPM Linux Catalog tab defines a number of options including locations (such as the location of the source files and the repository), as well as filters and whether local copies of the files are created on the target server or downloaded directly during deployment.

Note

After a catalog option update, ensure you update the patch catalog for the catalog option update to take effect.

The following sections provide information about the RPM Linux Catalog tab: 

Catalog Mode

Select one of two options:

  • Source from Vendor (Online Mode): Use this mode when the Application Server is installed on a server with Internet access.
  • Source from Disk Repository (Offline Mode): Use this mode in a secured environment where you can download the patch on a server (with Internet access) that is located outside the secure environment.

Repository Options

Enter the following information:

  • Payload Source Location (NSH path)
    (Offline Only) Location of the existing metadata and payload files. Metadata files stored in this location are copied to the catalog automatically. Payload files are not copied to the catalog.

  • Repository Location (NSH Path)
    The NSH path of the patch repository location. Ensure that sufficient free space is available at this location. Repositories typically contain many files, usually totaling gigabytes of data.

When specifying a host within an NSH path, you can use either the host name or the IP address (IPv4 or IPv6). 

Filters

Filters limit the amount of information in the catalog.There is no upper limit to the number of filter combinations you can make but there must be at least one. Only RPMs that match the combinations you define (and their dependent RPMs) are added to the catalog.

Important

You cannot create a catalog with multiple filters for the same combination of operating system and architecture.

You can define filters while creating or editing the catalog.

Do the following:

  1. Click Add Filter and select from the following:

    • Online Mode
