Hot fixes, patches, and packages

Is Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager able to show which SF/HA patches a specific host requires?

Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager integrates with Veritas Services and Operations Readiness Tools (SORT) to retrieve the latest information about hot fixes, point patches, and release patches on a per-server basis. This information provides a system administrator an efficient way to manage patches so that the server environments are up-to-date.

The information includes details on the criticality of the patch, whether the patch installation requires application downtime, whether the patch has kernel components, whether the patch installation requires system reboot, and the number of customers who have downloaded the patch. This information has to be present with the patch on SORT for Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager to show it.

Is Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager able to show available and applicable Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager hot fixes, patches, and packages?

The information includes details on the criticality of the hot fix, patch, or package, its status, and its release date. You can also view whether the installation requires application downtime, whether it has kernel components, and the download count number.

My network does not allow for direct Internet access. Can I still access the Veritas Services and Operations Readiness Tools (SORT) functionality?
