• Is there an alternative to the Update Manager - download the latest VMWare Tools for Windows Server 2003

  Hello

  I am really struggling to find an alternative to the Update Manager to download the latest VMWare Tools for Windows (Server 2003)

  There must be a link of just download somewhere? I scoured VMWare.com nothing helps...

  I can find of the OSP for other platforms (SUSE, Ubuntu etc), but nothing for Windows! Why?

  Any help really appreciated!

  Kind regards

  Tony.

  So you are saying I need to download the latest version of ESX/vSphere and then extract the VM Tools of which rpm?

  It might be a way to get them, if you are unable to install the product.

  The version will say vSphere 4.0 be OK for ESXi 3.5 VMs?

  Yes

• How update without downloading patch product compatibility?

  Hello

  Is it possible to update my compatibility information products (top right in the product page on the Add-ons site) without downloading a patch for these products? At present, next to most of my products compatibility says "CC (2014)", even if they are compatible with the CC 2015 as well. For products that I uploaded to Adobe Exchange via online package manager and set the minimum compatibility version, the compatibility is automatically updated. But for products I've downloaded in a single file and set compatibility to CC 2014 (the most recent version at the time of the release of the product), compatibility was not updated automatically. What should I do? I need to download the patches for all these products and change the compatibility information when downloading a patch? Or is there another way?

  Thank you.

  Hello Linas

  If you are sure that the Add-ons work in CC2015 then you can send me or [email protected] and give us a list of names add-on that are to update and we will manually change compatibility to include CC2015.

  Kind regards

• How to use the Update Manager

  I'm going to update ESXi 5.5 hosts my cluster but I know Update Manager component, so I ask if it is possible to host unique patch so that I can test VM on it and then to extend the update to the other guests.

  Can you offer me to apply all updates or it is usually to give priority to the security updates? I use Vmware image of HP because my hosts are server blades Proliant.

  How can I start? You have to suggest the quick start guide?

  Update Manager downloads the list of patches available from vmware.com. To configure the frequency of the update of the repository, click on House. Click the Update Manager icon. On the Configuration tab, click Patch download calendar.

  To view the scheduled task Patch download, click Homepage > scheduled tasks > VMware vCenter Update Manager Update to download.

  
  Notes:

  • To manually run this task, right-click the task, click run.

  • When you run the task, see task Download Patch definitions in the these last tasks.

  • If the download Patch definitions task fails, make sure that Update Manager can reach vmware.com. For more information

  To set baselines to the ESX host:

  1. Click home > hosts and Clusters.

  2. Highlight the ESX host, you want to update, and then click the Update Manager .

  3. Click on Attach. Select host patches critical and not critical host patches of baselines, and then click attach.

     Note: to create basic custom lines click home > Update Manager > planning and groups > Create.

  To analyze the ESX host for missing patches on the repository, right-click on the ESX host and click find updates > patches and Extensions > Scan.

  Notes:

  • Scan progress is displayed by The entity of Scan task in the recent tasks.

  • The analysis of the host does not affect running virtual machines.

  • If parsing fails, make sure that the ports between Update Manager and the ESX host is open. For more information, seerequirements of ports network VMware Update Manager (1004543).

  • When the analysis is complete, you will see the number of missing patches on the ESX host. If some patches are missing, you see Compliant.

  To restore the missing patches to the ESX host:

  1. Turn off all the virtual machines or vMotion them to another ESX host.
  2. Place the ESX host in maintenance mode. Right click on the ESX host, choose to enter the Maintenance Modeand click on Yes.
  3. Right-click on the ESX host and choose clean > host patches critical and not critical host patches of baselines, and then click Next.
  4. Choose which updates or patches to install, click Next > Next > Finish.

  Notes:

  • Progress of sanitation are illustrated by the task of the principal remedy in the recent tasks.

  • This task could take some time as Update Manager starts to download the patches to the vmware.com website.

  • If the restore fails, ensure that Update Manager, ESX host, and vmware.com ports are open. For more information, see requirements of ports network VMware Update Manager (1004543).

• The ESX host could restart after complete rehabilitation.

• Question on Update Manager (classified "Available path")

  Hi all:

  I have a dummy question: what is him classified 'Patch available' means in the Update Manager?

  I could be wrong, but perhaps he says true or false, because these fixes are available in your repository to update.

• Should I use Windows update for updates or download Toshiba bullet only?

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite laptop computer with Windows XP. I wonder what should I use windows update to download patches and additions or only
  install quick fix from the Toshiba support pages? Is there a difference?

  I noticed that to the Toshiba support site, there is no new update (miracles) have come in this year at all.

  I ask this because I have some time ago asked Toshiba (when I contacted their support) I use only WLAN updates provided by Toshiba, Intel does not update even if I have the Intel WLAN card in my laptop and there was new driver at the side of Intel.

  I agree with the previous user. I never installed all the patches page download Toshiba, just used Windows Update option in Explorer. So far, I've never noticed some problems.

  If you clean the OS installation I recommend you to install SP2 (if missing) and after doing this run Windows updates.

  I can't tell you much on Intel, but I repeatedly used newer drivers directly from the Intel download page.

• Any need of Update Manager 2 databases?

  Hey guys,.

  We have a farm 4.1, a farm of 5.0 and a farm 5.1.  We are running Update manager on the server vCenter for farm 5.0.  We just build a new farm 5.1 and I noticed that the update to the farm Manager 5.0 shows no task 5.1.  I make sure not to cause problems on farms 4.1 and 5.0, but I thought the best way for everything to be sorted would update Update Manager on the farm of 5.0 to 5.1.  Then point the battery 5.1 servers to update manager in the farm 5.0.  Are there problems with it?  I won't start accidentally updating hosts in other farms, etc., but I think that I have to download an image of ESXi and decontaminate before something bad happens.  Are there other settings that I should check if ensure the upgrade of the Update Manager 5.0-> 5.1 won't cause problems?  I know that I should make a backup of the database as well.

  Thank you

  If I'm reading between the lines correctly, you have separate vCenter for each of your 4.1, 5.0 and 5.1 servers environments. Is this correct, or you manage all your farms with a single instance of vCenter?

  Unless something has changed, the Update Manager can interact with a vCenter server, and you need an instance of VUM for each vCenter, using the same version of VUM as the vCenter server.

• Update Manager vs SCCM

  Hi, this question is NOT bound to vSphere patches but what about patches to the operating system for windows servers.

  What are the advantages and disadvantages of using Update Manager to patch, windows servers, rather than using SCCM?

  Vsphere 5, Update Manager no longer BONE-patches.

• ESXi 4.1 using VMware Update Manager Update

  This is my first time using Update Manager to update an ESXi host.  I have vCenter server and the Update Manager Server installed on a physical machine that has ODBC connections to a database Microsoft SQL on a computer located on my single ESXi 4.1 host virtual.  Realizing that I have to put the ESXi host in maintenance mode in order to upgrade to the latest version, I don't know how to and can continue to use vCenter Update Manager.  My only guess is that I'll have my SQL Server VM to vMotion to another ESXi host and have somehow vCenter and Manager update access to this database in order to stop the VM of the SQL Server to put the host in maintenance mode?  I tried to close the VM of SQL Server when you are connected to vCenter but I lost all ability to do something immediately.  My DC is also on that same host ESXi as well, closing the domain controller affect as well?

  If you have only an ESXi server and your VC / database etc all SimCity.EA.com ESXi host, you could consider only the upgrade without using VUM?

  http://www.get-virtual.info/2011/03/24/436/

  If your ESX host is in a cluster, the 'Miantenance Mode' operation will be vMotion virtual machines to the other hhosts and you should have no problem.

• VMWare Update Manager, patch lost files, how to re - download all?

  Hello

  We have a laboratory to test very small/dev with some ESX server and a Management Server VI including the Update Manager. This administration server is only a standalone machine with two local disks. In the vci - integrity.xml, we moved the location for the hotfix on a second drive data store

  & lt; docRootHostUpdates & gt;

  & lt; namespace & gt; "" vci / / hostupdates "& lt; / space names & gt;

  & lt; path & gt; D:\VMWarePatchStore\Data\ & lt; / path & gt;

  & lt; / docRootHostUpdates & gt;

  and

  & lt; patchStore & gt; D:\VMWarePatchStore\Data\ & lt; / patchStore & gt;

  Everything worked well for several months, until the D: drive crashed and the entire data store has been lost. Well, obviously no backup of this patch store because the idea was that these data can at any time be re-uploaded, if necessary. Only the C-disk's backup.

  Well, now we're at the stage where I have to re - download / fill this store patch, but I can't understand how to do this...

  Last weekend several 3.0.3 new patches have been released, and they have been downloaded in the patchStore. But no version 3.5.0 patches. (All of our ESX servers are 3, 5 - U2 all patches until December). When I run a "Scan for Updates" on any of the hosts-ESX, I get an error message in the file esxupdate.log on the ESX host:

  26 jan 09-0842 DEBUG: Summary: / usr/sbin/esxupdate - HA - d - flushcache http:// & lt; system-ip & gt;:80/vci/hostupdates/hostupdate/esx/esx-3.5.0 scan

  09 jan 26-0842 ERROR: hostagent: Extra :()

  Well, of course, that the file cannot be found, it was lost in the disk crash. The D-drive has been replaced, and I created the necessary directories manually. But in the subdirectory 3.5.0 - esx, there is no content and that the update of the weekly signature work runs and completes successfully, the lost content is not automatically recreated. I guess if there are new patches, they would appear there. But none of the 'old' patches of disk crash. If add us an ESX or need to re - install one, we need to patch, so I want to patch-store to be "complete" and contain at least the required corrections published after 3.5.0-U2.

  Then... I wonder what to do. Should I uninstall the Update Manager and re-install? I would like to avoid this. I couldn't find any command line interface (do not even talk about GUI) so far. Any help?

  Thanks in advance, Herbert

  The Update Manager database yet entered saying that patches are on the D: drive, even if they aren't there.  The entries in the database must be purged, or simply create a new database and point your current Manager to update to the new database.  All updates will then be re-uploaded.

• Update Manager fails to download the patches

  Hello Experts,

  I have vCenter 5.5 running on win2008r2 and Update Manager (VUM) installed on the same vcenter. I have deployed UMDS (Download Manager Update service) to download patches. UMDS is installed on a different server. Under Download Manager update view Admin tab option, I gave the url path web https UMD patches like "shared repository. I added following links via UMD as a download URL command line: -.

  https://hostupdate.VMware.com/software/VUM/production/main/VMW

  -deposit - index.xml

  https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/csco-mai

  csco/n-deposit - index.xml

  http://vibsdepot.HP.com/HPQ/mar2014-550/index-drv.XML

  Patches have been downloaded by UMDS I can see in download store path, joined screenshot in one of the comments below. But I don't see a single patch on patch repository tab of the Update Manager. It shows the Virgin.

  Do you know what could be the cause?

  Thank you

  so the culprit was the inheritance of the permissions on the patch store, followed this article and it worked.
