Hi
My apologies if I’m in the wrong section but I have a small issue/question in regards to VUM4 that I’m hoping someone would be able to answer.
The issue is that VUM began to downloaded patches before it was properly configured and as a result it downloaded a bunch on Linux+ windows patches that are not needed/ wanted in the repository.
Just wondering if there is an easy way of deleting the unwanted patches from the server. I know there is a uninstall, delete, re-install, re-initialize VUM DB way but I’m hoping for something simpler and quicker.
Anny help or advice on this issue would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Sorry to bump, but anyone?
I'm bumping this topic also as the same thing happened to me. Went to vSphere and started downloading everything even though I had it all uncheck in the previous version.
Are you sure that it actually downloaded windows/linux patches??? VUM will not patch linux systems (only scan them), so it should never download patches for it. With windows, it only downloads patches when you initiate a remediation and only the patches you've selected.
Possibly, I never checked the size of the update directory before it ran. It may just be showing all avaliable Red Hat patches.
no way out...you have to scratch database
