7.2. Applying Errata to Content Hosts

Procedure 7.2. To Apply a Single Errata to Content Hosts:

1. Navigate to Content Errata to view the list of available errata.
2. Click Errata ID of the errata you want to apply.
3. On the Content Hosts tab, select one or more content hosts to be updated. You can filter the available content hosts by the environment, and search for them by name. If you select the check box on the top of the page, only the content hosts that already have the installable errata in their life cycle environment are displayed.
4. Click Apply to Hosts.
   • If the errata is applicable, a new minor version of the content view is created. If you select Apply Errata to Content Hosts Immediately after publishing, Satellite will automatically install errata on the content host when promoting the updated content view. Otherwise, errata will be made available for installation on the content host. Installable errata can be applied later using the same procedure, or manually per content host as described in Procedure 7.4, “Applying Installable Errata to a Content Host”.
   • If the errata is installable, which means it is already present on selected content hosts but was not installed yet, no new content view version is created.
5. Click Confirm.
   • If the errata is applicable, a new task is started for the update procedure. After the task is completed successfully, you can investigate the updated content host at Host Content Hosts.
   • If the errata is installable, it is installed on selected content hosts. You can investigate the updated content host at Host Content Hosts.

5. Click Next. If some of the selected errata are applicable, a new minor version of the content view is created.
