To Mark a Local RPM as a Fix

Before You Begin

Ensure that the Inventory panel is visible. From the View menu, choose Inventory.

1. Log in to the system as a superuser.

2. From the drop-down list in the tool bar, select a distribution-architecture.

   The Components list changes to show the components relevant to your selection. The NCOs that you add with this procedure are added to the inventory of the displayed distribution.

3. Under the Local category, select Local RPMs or a user-defined category under it.

4. Right-click the selected category and choose Local, then choose Add.

   The Add Software window opens.

5. Select whether the RPM is accessed from the localhost (console) or from a remote managed host.

6. Browse to the file if it is on the console; type in the path name if it is on a remote host.

7. Check Security Fix.

8. Click OK.

   The Add Package window closes. The software is added to the knowledge base as an update to the previous like-named added components.
