Prerequisite, or dependent, Red Hat packages required to install Red Hat Security Advisories can be acquired from two places. They can either be downloaded from the Red Hat Network during acquisition or they can be found locally if previously copied from the Red Hat Linux installation media. During an acquisition, Patch Manager will first look for the .rpm packages in the appropriate directory. For example:
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4ES on x86, place the baseline operating system rpm files supplied on Red Hat installation media in Data\PatchManager\Patch\redhat\4es
.
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4ES on x86-64, place the baseline operating system rpm files supplied on Red Hat installation media in Data\PatchManager\Patch\redhat\4es-x86_64
.
When naming the Data\PatchManager\Patch\redhat\packages
subdirectories, refer to the list of OS Filter Architecture values. Use the applicable folder name based on the value following REDHAT::
as the subdirectory name.
If a patch’s prerequisite software is not found locally, then the package will be downloaded from the Red Hat Network. To decrease the time needed for acquisition, HP recommends copying the dependency packages to the appropriate packages directory from your Linux installation media. The Red Hat RPM packages can be found on the Linux installation media under the RedHat/RPMS
directory.
