Action and Syntax	Details
View a list of available upgrade patches or hotfixes. show patch list show hotfix list [--id <hotfix_id>] [--module <module_name>] [--location <local>]	Note the name and ID of the patch or hotfix file you want to install. If you want to download the patch to a remote filestore, you will need the patch file name. Download patches from the Downloads page at MyWebsense.com. Select a patch to see a detailed description. If you want to download a patch directly to each security blade, you will need the patch ID. Parameters can narrow the scope of patch or hotfix files displayed: Use --id to see information about a specific hotfix. Use --module and specify a module type to see hotfixes for an appliance module. Specify --location local to see hotfix files residing on the appliance.

Download a patch or hotfix from MyWebsense to the appliance. load patch --name <name> load hotfix --id <hotfix_id>	Use the "show patch list" or "show hotfix list" command to find the hotfix ID or patch name. The download process is asynchronous, allowing the administrator to perform other CLI tasks during the download. Use "show patch load --status" or "show hotfix load --status" to check download progress.
Upload a patch or hotfix package to the appliance from a remote filestore. load patch --file <name> --location <filestore_alias> load hotfix --file <name> --location <filestore_alias>	The filestore alias is created with the "set filestore" command. <name> is the exact name of the patch or hotfix file.
Display the status of the patch or hotfix download process. show patch load --status show hotfix load --status	This command lets the administrator check to see if the download from Websense servers is complete.
Install a patch or hotfix file on the appliance. install patch [--file <name>] install hotfix [--id <hotfix_id>]	<name> is the exact name of the patch. Enter "install patch" or "install hotfix" without any parameters to select the patch or hotfix file from a list.
Display the status of the patch or hotfix installation process. show patch install --status show hotfix install -status
Remove a patch file from the appliance. delete patch --file <name> delete hotfix --id <hotfix_id>	This removes the patch or hotfix file, but does not uninstall the patch or hotfix (if installed). <name> is the exact name of the patch or hotfix file.
Uninstall a hotfix from the appliance. uninstall hotfix [--id <hotfix_id>]	Specify a hotfix ID to uninstall the specified hotfix, or use the "uninstall hotfix" command with no additional parameters to select from a list of installed hotfixes.
