Therefore, the update must be applied on the selected (FocalPoint) server before it is applied on other servers in the same node.Info Because there can be multiple nodes in a Precise installation, there can be multiple servers with this status. This status only refers to servers in the same node. You can update a server (without a FocalPoint) in a different node before updating the selected server, if the servers with FocalPoints installed on them in the other node have already been updated.
- Pending Prerequisites. The update cannot be applied until all prerequisites are fulfilled. A list of prerequisites can be found per update on https://precise.secure.force.com.
