Patching a host manually could be time consuming (and boring). That's why we provide a high level feature downloading and applying all missing patches automatically.
https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/hotfix-xs70e004-for-xenserver-7-0/
## XOA smart patching system
Your XOA will check for missing patching on official Citrix servers. They will be displayed if any:
* in dashboard view
* in pool view (plus the number of missing patches in a red pill)
* in host view (in patching tab, same red pill)
### Installing patches
When you click on "Install all patches", XOA will automatically, at the same time (streaming all operations):
* fetch all missing patches on Citrix servers
* unzip them
* upload them
* apply them in correct order
You can see more screenshots here: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/hotfix-xs70e004-for-xenserver-7-0/
> If you are behind a proxy, please update your `xo-server` configuration to add a proxy server, as [explained in the appropriate section](configuration.md#proxy-for-xenserver-updates-and-patches).
## Notes on patching
* Xen Orchestra won't reboot your hosts automatically. That's your call to choose when to do it.
* Patching doesn't mean to reboot every time. Check the "Guidance" row: if "restartHost" is displayed, it means you need to reboot to have the patch fully apply (see screenshot below)
* XO will install all patching without rebooting: that's not an issue. Even applying patches manually, **it's not mandatory to reboot after each patch**.
