• Establishes the list of patches that will be included in creating the patch installation tape (CSLT or store
tape).
This part of the process is where you choose which patches you want to install. HP Patch/iX evaluates all the
proposed patches and determines if each patch qualifies for installation. A patch qualifies for installation if:
• It is compatible with your current software.
• All patch and product dependencies are resident.
• You do not have a more recent version of the patch already installed on your system.
CAUTION Forcing a patch that does not automatically qualify for your system is strongly discouraged by
Hewlett-Packard. Force patches only under the recommendation of the Hewlett-Packard
Response Center.
Qualified Patch Filters
To view selected lists of patches there are six filter settings available:
All (1) Displays all patches available for the current patch process.
Qualified (2) Displays all patches that qualify for the system.
Disqualified (3) Displays all patches that failed to qualify for the system.
Difference (4) Displays the difference in the list of qualified patches between the two most recent
qualifications.
Vetoed (5) Displays all patches marked for veto from the default qualification. They are marked with
V.
Forced (6) Displays all patches marked for force from the default qualification. They are marked with
F.
To change the View Patches filter, press
