TSM Patchmanagement

[chzink]

Hello,

in our company we want to establish a TSM / ISP Client Patchmanagement. Which means that there should be an organizational process to decide when to install the appropriate client.
We are thinking about a defined Support Matrix for our existing environments, depending on the OS / Oracle / SAP versions.

My colleague think about an analogy to 'Patchday' like Microsoft or Oracle.

Does someone have implemented a similar process ?

Pre-Thanks

Christoph

Thought about this but no-go.

TSM patches happen too seldom and most of the time, in my experience, does not hit everyone 80% of the time.

As a rule of thumb, I have client versions equal or lower than the current TSM server version. The only time I would 'move' to update the TSM clients is when the TSM Server version has been updated.

Thus, a scheduled patch management cycle is not necessary. TSM is more stable than Windoze.

Just schedule updates when needed as I have mentioned above. Scheduled TSM updates normally happen during business hours or the day as nodes are busy at night.
