We need to check the patch level of the HPE Data Protector clients for updating the patches installed on the client. HPE support systems also ask for the list of the patches installed on the client in case of issues related to the configuration or backups.
List all patches installed on a DP Client
Run the below command on the system where you have installed the HPE Data Protector (DP) Cell Manager (CM) to list all the patches installed on a particular client. The client should be added/imported to the Cell Manager. In this case, CM was installed on a Windows Server 2008 machine.
Check installed patches through the command line
- Run the command prompt as administrator.
Run CMD as Administrator
- Type the below command to check the patch level installed on the client. dpclient is the hostname of the client so don’t forget to replace it with your DP client’s hostname.
