Install maintenance patches (if available)

You can install patches by using the CLI or through the GUI.

Note: In federated environments, maintenance patches can be applied to all of the appliances from the Central Manager.

There may not be any maintenance patches included with the installation materials. If any are included, follow these steps to apply them:

Log in to the Guardium® console, as the cli user, using the temporary cli password you defined in the previous installation procedure. You can do this by using an ssh client.
Do one of the following:
- If installing from a network location, enter the following command (selecting either ftp or scp):
```
store system patch install [ftp | scp] 
```
  And respond to the following prompts (be sure to supply the full path name to the patch file):
  
  Host to import patch from:
  
  User on <hostname>
  
  Full path to patch, including name:
  
  Password:
- If installing using the fileserver function, enter the following command:
```
store system install patch sys
```
  You will be prompted to select the patch to apply. Use wildcards in the pathname to get multiple patches. Also separate patch names by commas.
To install additional patches, repeat step 2.
To see if patches have been installed successfully, use the CLI command:
```
show system patch installed
```
Patches are installed by a background process that may take a few minutes to complete.
