The Patch Signature File (.pls) files must reside on the Collector. By default, VCM Patching is set to

execute the action to download the .pls files automatically every 4 hours. The .pls files are used to

determine if required patches are installed on the VCM-managed machine. You can view the patch files

VCM Initiated | By Machine. During a patch assessment, using the Patch Assessment data type, the

.pls files are pushed from the Collector to the VCM-managed machine. You may experience a delay

while this process is occurring.

The VCM Agent must be installed on the VCM-managed machine.

The VCM-managed machine must be licensed for VCM Patching for UNIX Patching.

NOTE Assessments of UNIX/Linux-based machines operate differently from Windows assessments:

UNIX assessments require new data to be collected, while Windows assessments are performed against

previously collected data.

Machine Assessments are Run Against Known Patches

Assessments of UNIX/Linux machines are run against the patches known by VMware at the time the

assessment is performed. For more information, contact VMware Customer Support.

NOTE If machine data has not been collected for a machine, VCM Patching may not display assessment

results for the machine, and the machine will not be available for deployment. In cases where a patch-

machine mismatch occurs, VCM can be set to display the data and the mismatch status, or hide the patch-

machine mismatch data in Patching |VCM Patching Administration | UNIX | Settings | Bulletin and

Update.

Using Bulletins to Run an Assessment

To run an assessment using bulletins, follow these steps.

1. Click Patching | [UNIX/Linux Platform] | Bulletins | By Bulletin.

2. Click Assess. The assessment on UNIX/Linux machines uses the Patch Assessment collection filter to

perform a collection of all machines in the current machine group. The results are reported in the
