3.4.1 Finding Packages on Hosts

You can search through all your hosts to find where a specific package is installed, or find whether
the package is installed at all.
1 Click Hosts on the home page of the console.
2 Click Hosts or a domain name.
3 In the task pane, click Find Package.
4 From the Package drop-down list, select the package you are looking for.
5 If you want to find out which hosts do not have this package installed, select the package not
installed check box. If you want to find out where the package is installed, deselect the package
not installed check box.
6 Click Find. A list of agents where the package is installed or not installed is displayed.
7 To view a host's details, double-click the agent name. Otherwise, to return to the Hosts page,
click Close.

3.4.2 Updating Packages for a Host

When updated packages become available on your local Package Manager, you can update the
packages installed on individual hosts or for all hosts in a domain. The distribution agent performs a
number of checks to ensure that the host has enough disk space to extract and install the package. If
there is insufficient space, the package is not updated.
1 Click Hosts on the home page of the console.
2 In the navigation pane, select either the host or the domain where you want to update the
packages.
3 Click Update Domain Packages or Update Packages in the task pane.
The console checks for updates on your Package Manager and displays any updated packages
available for download.
4 Select the packages from the list of available packages.
