Resolving compliance issues

When a compliance policy indicates that there are updates that are required on one or more systems, examine the severity of the updates, and plan to install them considering your system's availability, workload, and scheduling factors.

Before you begin

Use this procedure only if one or more of your systems is out of compliance, as indicated by the Compliance column in the list of monitored systems, or as indicated by the pie chart on the Update Manager summary page.

Note: The compliance pie chart is visible only if you have already created a compliance policy for your system.

About this task

The Compliance column visually indicates that a system is not in compliance. The status severity is the highest severity of all the updates needed by the system.

To correct an out-of-compliance situation, complete the following steps:

Procedure

Click the compliance status in the Compliance column to see the Issues and Recommendations panel.
Read the recommended action. Make sure that you understand the proposed actions.
Choose the issues that you want to resolve and then click either Install or Uninstall, according to the recommendation. The appropriate wizard starts. You can choose to resolve all issues at once instead of resolving them individually.
