Disable the automatic download of updates without disabling CPUSE completely.

Hi Mates,
Recently, I encountered an issue with some security gateways, especially the Open Server ones. Some of these gateways do not have enough space in the /var/log directory, and the update agent automatically downloads JHFs, so I receive insufficient space alarms. Each time, I have to delete the downloaded update, but it downloads again automatically after a restart or a few days. I want to disable this behavior without disabling the CPUSE completely so that I can see and be notified about new updates. However, I don't want the updates to download automatically or take up a lot of disk space. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution yet. Does anyone know of a solution?

Thanks in Advance

Default is to download manually. You need to use CLI to configure this:

set installer policy downloads manual

See CPUSE Syntax in Gaia Clish / Gaia gClish

I can confirm what @G_W_Albrecht gave you is the right way, since I had case with TAC once for this as customer asked and thats exact command they gave. Just make sure to run save config after : - )

Yes, always run save config after changes just to be sure - you never know...
