Viewing pending updates
Your system is preconfigured for weekly automatic
updates. You can view the pending updates in the Updates window.
About this task
Your system needs to be operational long enough to retrieve the weekly updates. If no updates are displayed in the Updates window, either your system has not been in operation long enough to retrieve the weekly updates or no updates have been issued. If this occurs, you can manually check for new updates.
The Check for Updates toolbar provides the following functions:
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Hide | Select one or more updates, and then click Hide to remove the selected updates from the Check for Updates page. You can view and restore the hidden updates on the Restore Hidden Updates page. For more information, see Restoring hidden updates. |
| Install | You can manually install updates. When you manually install updates, the installation process starts within a minute. For more information, see Manually installing automatic updates. |
| Schedule | You can configure a specific date and time to manually install selected updates on your Console. Scheduling is useful when you want to schedule the update installation during off-peak hours. For more information, see Scheduling an update. |
| Unschedule | You can remove preconfigured schedules for manually installing updates on your Console. For more information, see Scheduling an update. |
| Search By Name | You can locate a specific update by name. |
| Next Refresh | This counter displays the amount of time until the next automatic refresh. The list of updates on the Check for Updates page automatically refreshes every 60 seconds. The timer is automatically paused when you select one or more updates. |
| Pause | Pauses the automatic refresh process. To resume automatic refresh, click Play. |
| Refresh | Refreshes the list of updates. |
