Situation
How do I install the ZPM Red Hat agent and receive remediation patches using a ZPM server?
Resolution
Once a
Novell ZPM subscription (to receive Red Hat patches) has been
purchased, the Update Server will download all the patch
detection signatures for Red Hat but not the remediation packages
because Red Hat requires users to have a Red
Hat Network Subscription to download their security
patches.
Next
customers will need to manually download any patches from Red Hat
through their Red Hat Network Subscription. These
patches can then be manually imported into the local ZPM
remediation database using the Content Update Toolfound in PatchLink's Answer ID
349
Once the
patches have been sucessfully imported, all remediation deployments
will be supported. In some cases, the cut tool will have to be run
twice in order to work.
