Figure 6-1. Patch summary view of detailed patch information
The summary view of the detailed patch information screen for the patch will display the
patch QUALIFICATION STATUS (see Figure 6-1 above). Next to the qualification
status, in parenthesis, will be the reason for the disqualification. The following sections
will describe each of the possible reasons and how to get more information about why the
patch failed to qualify.
(patch naturally qualifies)
This signifies that the patch qualifies for the system without being forced.
(patch naturally disqualifies - force not recommended)
This signifies that HP Patch/iX has determined that this patch should not be applied to the
system, and that forcing the patch on is discouraged by Hewlett-Packard.
(dependent product installed - cannot be vetoed)
If you are installing an Express release, which has both SUBSYS and PowerPatch
components, you may see this status. It means that the current patch is required for the
associated product (SUBSYS) component to function properly. These types of patches
cannot be vetoed because it would leave the product only partially installed.
