What are the blob files on the agents?

Question:

In /opt/local/aduva/director_agent/blobs/

There are multiple files with the suffix .blob

What are they?

Answer

The blob files are the actual software packages downloaded by the UCE server from the Universal Software Component Repository. This occurs once you have approved the installation of a component and are not downloaded again if they are present in the appropriate directory.

This may be Solaris patches or RPM files depending on the managed channel of that host.
