Update packages


You can update all the packages that are currently deployed to selected nodes and node groups, including the agent package. This upgrades the packages without removing the current version.

To update packages

  1. In the console tree, select the nodes or node groups on which you want to update packages.
  2. Right-click your selection, and then click All Tasksarrow Reinstall/Update.... The Reinstall/Update Node dialog box opens.
  3. Select Update.
  4. In the list under Scope, select Packages.
  5. Optional. Select the Ignore missing policies/packages check box. If the node inventory contains packages that are not available on this management server, the management server removes them and does not redeploy them. Otherwise, if you clear this check box, the job succeeds only if all the packages in the node inventory are available on this management server.
  6. Optional. If you want to deploy packages to nodes that already have a newer version of the package, clear the Update only if version is newer check box. If you do this, the management server deploys the latest version of the package that is available on the management server, even if the node already has the same version or a newer version.
  7. Click OK. The management server creates a deployment job, which updates the packages.
