How to apply patches to a standalone ESXi 3.5 U5 system?

I have a stand-alone ESXi 3.5 U5 (free license) system I want to tinker with the last batch of patches.

According to the patch Research Portal:

http://www.VMware.com/patch/s3portal.Portal?_nfpb=true & _windowLabel = SearchPatch & SearchPatch_actionOverride = % 2Fportlets % 2Fpatchupdate % 2FfindPatch & _pageLabel = s3portal_pages_downloadPatch_page

The last module is: ESXe350-201012401-O-BG - PATCH


I can download this bundle, no problem.  However, I am confused as to how to apply this patch in my environment.  4.1 using, I can connect the tech support console and use the command esxupdate directly to apply the patches.  However, with active 3.5 + ssh using the console busybox unsupported, esxupdate command is not very useful.

From my research, it seems that the recommended installation process is to use the RCLI.  However, it seems that the RCLI is no longer available from the download site, or at least I am unable to find it.  Furthermore, I believe that the RCLI is 'read only' with the free license, so I would not be able to apply the patches, would I?

What choices do I have?  Thanks for your help!

There is an update (do not remember his name) which can be installed at the same time as the VI client. Try reinstalling the VI client again and use the checkbox to install the update. He will be responsible to get the patches and update. You can also download the package vCLI which replaced the RCLI. If you have already installed for the 4.1, you can use the same. Or add the device to the vMA. http://VMware.com/go/VMA

    Hello

    This can happen for various reasons.

    For example, a patch may be applicable to that after a service pack is applied, in order to apply this service pack can address all the known problems of when restoration began, but does also other applicable patches.

    Maybe a patch of required (applicable) is not included in the baseline. Have you created a static or dynamic reference database?

  • How to apply a patch

    Hi all

    How to apply a patch on Oracle, cananybody give me all the steps...

    Here are some of the steps to apply a patch on oracle 9i (9.2.0.7)
    Note: These are pre-installation steps that should be made just before the maintenance window begins

    Make sure you have Perl perl 5.00503 (or later version) - v

    You must use OPatch version 1.0.0.0.54 or later.
    Check the current version:

    $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch version
    If not, install it. In the $ORACLE_HOME directory copy the p2617419_10102_GENERIC.zip and unzip the latter:

    CP p2617419_10102_GENERIC.zip $ORACLE_HOME.
    MV $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch.bak
    CD $ORACLE_HOME
    unzip p2617419_10102_GENERIC.zip
    Recheck the current version and if it works:

    $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory

    Before you start the installation check if 'java' and 'jar' executables are present in your Oracle home. In a standard Oracle, 'java' facility is available in $ORACLE_HOME/jre/bin directory and 'pot' is available in $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin directory.

    ls-l $ORACLE_HOME/jre /"/ bin"
    ls-l $ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin
    If you do not have a standard installation and these commands are not present, then call the command "opatch apply" with the flag - jdk, by specifying the full path to the JDK to use.

    Check if the following executables must be present in the $PATH: brand, ar, ld, and nm.

    Copy the file p4751923_92070_LINUX.zip to the directory of your oracle database, unzip it there and go to the 4751923 subdircetory.

    unzip p4751923_92070_LINUX.zip
    CD ~/4751923

  • apply patch

    Hi all

    I 10.2.0.2 DBs run on conf Dataguard on redhat. I must apply patch 5458753 DBs. I read the Readme, but there are 2 ' Instructions of Installation of Patch ' and ' special Patch Instructions ' section

    1 - What is the difference between these sections?
    2 - I know,
    (a) stop the observation process to disable fast switching
    (b) waiting for shutdown DB
    (c) stop DB primary
    (d) unzip the fix on Standby DB and change to this directory. "cd 5458753" and then run command "opatch apply.
    (e) unzip the primary fix on DB and change to this directory. "cd 5458753" and then run command "opatch apply.
    (f) primary DB startup
    (g) startup mount standby DB
    (h) to start the process of observation
    (i) check the status of the DG.
    (j) apply status with the command «opatch lsinventory» check patch and I have the ability to roll back this appy patch with '"cd 5458753 then' opatch rollback-id 5458753"

    This way is correct? did I miss smth? or ideas would be appreciated...

    Thank you.

    as you know my patch isn't a patch of cpu and I have 10g DB.
    I think my way is correct according to your link, right?
    can I use my steps to apply this patch?

    Yes you can follow the same steps.
    Here is a note of reference more for you, which is also applicable for the interim patch patch/CPU/PSU.

  • How can you patch ESX rollback?

    I guess that the first part of the question is how to apply the patches... Do you use Crossover?  Or else you patch an image and then display a complete picture...?  Or you run remote commands to get/install the patch?  Other ways?

    I'm here to tell you that a boot from san configuration is the only way I know of restoration.  You break the lun and install patches.  If this does not work, restore you the snap.

    You could! (Not severe at all)

    single user boot mode

    tar ball everything except/tmp and / proc

    reboot, run patches.

    exception, boot to single-user

    roll the ball of tar for uninstall.

    You'd probably never do.  (Except when the detected impact 2) :)

    For customers who have this requirement, we never charge patches.  It's always a cool version using a kickstart server.  If something is wrong with the new iso standard.  Go back us to the previous one and rebuild from scratch, back to the previous version.  This go around we this conversation.  Each server is the same ISO on the network.

    This is not enough; However, I thought I would at least give you some (bad) ideas.
