Modify Server Access Profiles for Patch Distribution using the Gateway

If you are patching Microsoft devices, you can use a lightweight patching model by configuring the following patch distribution settings.

When using these patch distribution settings, make sure that the SAP instances for the Core and Satellites that are defined with a TYPE of DATA, also include a ROLE of P. These instances are typically named Core_RPS and satellite_hostname_RPS.

If these SAP entries do not include the Role of P, modify them using the following procedure:

To modify your SAP instances to deliver patch binaries from the gateway:

For basic information on creating or editing SAP instances, see Create Server Access Profile Instances.

  1. From the Core server, use the CSDB Editor to open the SAP instance for the CORE_RPS (the one with TYPE = DATA) and make the following changes:

    Add a ROLE value of P.

    The values should include the addition in bold:

    TYPE = DATA
    URI = http://hostname:3466
    ROLE = DZP

  2. Save your changes to the CORE_RPS instance.
  3. Apply the same ROLE change from Step 1 to your Satellite SAP instances defined with TYPE = DATA. These instances are generally named satellite_hostname_RCS.
  4. Save all changes to the * _RPS instances for the Satellites.
