Solstice AutoClient 2.1 Administration Guide

How Host Manager Uses the Patch Spool Directory

When you use Host Manager to add new diskless clients and AutoClient systems to a network's configuration files, it will automatically set up those new clients with the patches in the patch spool directory. Host Manager may detect that the installation of a patch in an OS service area may have made all other clients of that service out of sync with the patch spool directory. If so, Host Manager will issue a warning for you to run admclientpatch -s to synchronize the patches installed on existing diskless clients or AutoClients with the patches in the patch spool directory.
