Redeploying the VPM Patch Agent

The VPM Patch Agent automatically deploys when target systems are licensed. If the VPM Patch Agent
deployment fails, verify that the WBEM credentials are configured correctly. To verify the WBEM credentials,
select Options Protocol Settings System Protocol Settings.
If the VPM Patch Agent is removed from a system for any reason or is not properly deployed to the target
system, redeploy the VPM Patch Agent.
To deploy the VPM Patch Agent:
1. Select Deploy Vulnerability and Patch Management VPM Patch Agent.
2. Select the target systems on which to deploy the VPM Patch Agent either by selecting a group from the
list or by selecting individual systems, and click Apply.
3. Verify that the correct target systems appear in the lists, and click Next.
If you need to reselect the target systems, click Add Targets or Remove Targets, verify the target
systems, and then click Next.
4. If any selected systems are unlicensed or licensed with a time-limited license, you can apply permanent
licenses at this time. If licenses are available, select any unlicensed system in the list to license, and click
Apply License. Server and client licenses are automatically applied to the appropriate systems, if
available. To add licenses using a key string, click Add Key, enter the key string in the field, and click
OK.
If you select any systems listed as Unknown or Unmanaged in HP SIM for licensing, a server license is
assumed and automatically applied. HP recommends that you modify the HP SIM settings to properly
identify systems before licensing. Any unlicensed target systems not licensed at this time are not included
in the patch agent deployment.
If one or more target systems can use a VPM client license, and adequate client licenses are not available,
you are prompted to select if you want to apply server licenses (if available) to license the selected client
systems. After you apply a license, the license cannot be revoked or replaced with a VPM client license
later. The license validation page does not appear if all target systems initially selected for the task are
licensed with permanent licenses.
