Updating Multiple Systems on the Network
You can run SUU from a network location and update components on
multiple systems. This feature is called the network share support feature.
NOTE: You must be connected to the network to use the network share support
feature.
To run SUU from a network location:
1
Access the system on the network on which SUU resides.
2 Launch the SUU GUI to display the components to be updated in the
Comparison Report.
3 You can choose to update all the components in a single session by
selecting the
Enable System Set Update check box or you can choose to
perform only an upgrade or a downgrade. For more information on the
System Set Update feature, see "Upgrading and Downgrading
Components in a Single Session".
4 Click the Update , Upgrade , or Downgrade button. A dialog box prompts
for confirmation to update, upgrade, or downgrade the listed components.
5 Click Yes to continue or No to cancel.
If you click
Yes , SUU displays the Update dialog box that shows the
progress of the update/upgrade/downgrade.
6 Click OK when the update/upgrade/downgrade is completed.
The updates are reflected in the Comparison Report.
Ensure that the name of your report or the path in which you save the report
