Patch Download Not Started

Problem

You have opted for Automated Patch Download/ Download & Draft / Download & Deploy and the scanning of machines specified in Define Target has been completed. However you get a message - "Not started" in the download/deployment status.

Cause

You will see this message as the Patch Download is scheduled to start only after two hours from the start of scanning.

Resolution

Patch Scanning process takes an estimated two hours irrespective of whether the scanning is successful or not. And you will get to see the "Not Started" message for the entire two-hour duration after the Patch Scan commences.
