About this guide This support matrix lists requirements for all components in an HP ProLiant Essentials Vulnerability and Patch Management (VPM) Pack environment. Supported target systems and applications are also included. Where to go for additional help In addition to this guide, the following information sources are available. For additional information about Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack, see: • http://www.hp.
Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack The VPM server, the server on which Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack software is installed, must meet the following hardware and software requirements. Requirements listed for the VPM server are independent of requirements for HP SIM and any other applications that coexist on the VPM server. For specific hardware and software requirements for the HP SIM server, see the HP SIM User Guide.
HP Systems Insight Manager HP SIM 5.1 or later must be installed on a Windows server. This release of Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack does not support HP SIM installed with a Linux or HP-UX operating system. VPM Acquisition Utility (optional) The VPM Acquisition Utility can be installed on a system with Internet access, enabling patch acquisitions and vulnerability updates without requiring the VPM server to be directly connected to the Internet.
Target systems Target systems are managed by Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack. HP recommends installing HP Management Agents on ProLiant target systems to enable HP SIM to better identify the target systems. Enable WMI or Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) for other target systems. The VPM Patch Agent is automatically deployed when target systems are licensed to enable patches to be applied to the systems. Secure Shell (SSH) must be installed on Linux target systems.
Supported applications Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack supports patching of the following applications on monitored systems: • All Microsoft applications for which patches are available (excluding Microsoft Office applications) • All applications included with Red Hat Linux 8
