Security Fix; Hot Fix; Add-On Pack - Fujitsu SE700 User Manual

Architecture and strategies
2.2.3.2

Security fix

A security fix contains all the security-relevant updates for the Linux-based basic software.
Security fixes protect the system against, for example, unauthorized intrusion and attacks
from the outside. Whether you install current security fixes depends on your security
requirements and whether the SE server can be accessed only via the protected
administration LAN or also from the outside. The functional use of the SE server is also
guaranteed without the current security fixes.
A security fix may also be installed by the customer. Installation takes place in the SE
Manager under an administrator account.
2.2.3.3

Hot fix

A hot fix contains a patch with which an urgent problem in your system can be rectified as
quickly as possible.
A hot fix can only be installed by Customer Support. Installation can only be performed
using a CLI command under the Customer Support account.
2.2.3.4

Add-on pack

Add-on packs are software components on a unit which have their own web interfaces that
are integrated into the SE Manager. The type and location of the integration into the SE
Manager depends on the category to which the add-on pack is to be assigned, e.g.
Application, Monitoring, Hardware Management.
Add-on packs have their own version schema and can be replaced independently of the
basic software.
An add-on package contains software which FUJITSU provides for use on the units.
Currently add-on packs are only provided for the Management Unit. By default a distinction
is made between installed and optional add-on packs:
– In the case of an add-on pack which is installed by default, the customer must, if
necessary, install newer versions.
– In the case of an optional add-on pack, the customer must also perform installation or
uninstallation. Customer Support can also do this when requested.
Add-on packs are also distinguished by whether they are chargeable or included in the price
and preinstalled.
