Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) provides centralized management for applying updates provided by the Microsoft Corporation. When the WSUS server works with the SVP, Security Updates for which our operation verification has been complete can automatically apply to the SVP .
This allows customers to centrally manage the application of Security Updates to the SVP, which was previously performed as a maintenance operation. To use this function, perform the following procedure for enabling the WSUS function.
- The WSUS server must be prepared by the customer.
- Configure the network so that the WSUS server can communicate with the SVP.
- Set the WSUS server so that Security Updates can be received by the SVP.
- Set the WSUS server so that only Security Updates for which our operation verification has been complete applies to the SVP.
- You must have the Security Administrator (View & Modify) role to perform this task.
- A single SVP configuration must be created. In a duplex SVP configuration with the SVP High Reliability Kit installed, the WSUS function cannot be enabled.
- To enter the host name in the WSUS server URL, set the host name and the domain name of the WSUS server for the DNS server.
CAUTION:
Applying Security Updates for which our operation verification has
not been complete to the SVP might produce unpredictable results such as the
inability to operate the SVP.
Note: Make a note of the settings during the following operating procedure, which might
be useful if you reconfigure the WSUS settings to replace the SVP.
