• 5 and update manager vCenter

  Hello

  I installed vcenter and update manager as a virtual machine host.

  Now when I want to use the update patch of the host Manager, it takes all the vm to stop.

  Obviosly if I stop the VM guests, this includes the vm vcenter himself who then stops updates.

  I tried to connect directly to the host without vcenter but then there is no Update Manager.

  Any way around this?

  Thank you

  Chris

  I would start by setting up the vmware in your main site environment - Essentials you are able to use the vmotion and HA - vmotion you will deal with the current issue - would you be able to vmotion virtual machines on a host and update without havomg yp sjut down virtual machines. With HA you will be covered in the event of hardware failure - if an ESXi host to crash the system VMs automatiically will restart on the remaining hosts.

  Bit please be aware vmotion and HA require shared storage - either SAN (iSCSI and storage FC0 or NAS/NFS -

• vCenter Server 4.0 and Update Manager

  Hello

  Can vCenter Server 4.0 and Update Manager be installed on the same server?

  I understand that they both must separate databeses.

  Thank you

  Euan

  Is the same as VI 3.5.

  You need two DB, but also on the same SQL instance.

  So you can install on the same computer.

• ESXi 5.1 and Update Manager

  Hi all

  As I'm sure many of you are well aware, ESXi 5.1 is the latest version with a .NET VI Client is a separate installation. In the future, we want to use the Web Interface to manage ESXi hosts.

  My question is with the Update Manager. Anyone know if you can use the Update Manager in the web interface? I see where use in the VI Client.

  If you know the discussions or documents on how to use it in the web interface, please report it. Or if you know any information on the ability (or for that matter, cannot) use it in the web interface, I'd love to hear it.

  -Ed

  Hello Ed,

  Yes, I work in VMware. In future releases it will not .net / c# and only web client. In this release VMware wanted users to use vSphere client and the web client, users can become comfortable with the web Client.

  I am sure that in future versions, the MU plugin will be integrated.

  Hope that answers your questions.

• VCSA and update Manager

  Update Manager updates the vCSA device?   I swore that I read that he cannot for the time being, but I don't remember the documentation nor do I find.  If anyone knows, please let me know or point me to the documentation saying it is or is not possible.

  I know VUM does not come with the vCSA and I also know that it is always necessary to use Windows to run stand-alone.  You don't know everything just not if the autonomous will update the device.

  THX.

  Hi Larry,

  Good question. As far as I know, the update/upgrade of the VCSA is build-in the camera and you need to update/upgrade from there. Check that this upgrade procedure document.

  Kind regards.

• vCenter Server Virtual Appliance and Update Manager

  Hello

  Anyone with experience in the present? Documentation says that it is not possible to install the update on a VCSA Manager but you can install the update on a Windows Machine Manager and point it at the VCSA.

  Anyone try? It works as recommended by VMware?

  Thanks in advance!

  That works, let some customers like that, no problem.

• M1000 and R 620 blades/VMWare Update Manager

  Small question:

  I need to upgrade my 5.1 to 5.5 ESXi hosts.  I'll use the VMWare Update Manager to perform the upgrade to my hosts, who are servers in a M1000 r.620 chassis.  What I need to download the .iso in VMWare ESXi ESIi specific Dell 5.5 5.5 or can I use disc VMWare 5.5?

  I did not upgrade since the original install and we used the Dell disk at this time here because he had the pilots but thought that with the Update Manager, I wouldn't need to use the specific Dell disk now.

  Thank you.

  You can use.

  Be sure to upgrade your vCenter and Update Manager 5.5 before attempting to upgrade the hosts.

  The image of ESXi 5.5 vanilla of VMware and Dell 'branded' start ESXi 5.5 of the same image.

  However, Dell adds drivers and additional sensors.

  I would recommend going with the image of Dell.

• Configuration Manager Manager and update

  Hi all

  What is the difference between Configuration Manager and Update Manager?

  Thank you

  Djamel

  Hello

  They are certainly different products from Troy, but both have their uses for security. VUM is necessary to determine the status of patches and fixes, while configuration manager will monitor your systems configuration drift (to some extent) is Host Profiles. But Config Manager monitors your systems for both compliance issues.

  The two types of tools are necessary for good security.

• vCenter DB and DB Manager Update on SQL - use a user account to access the two DB or separate user accounts?

  Hi people,

  I built a laboratory to test ESX and I always wondered what the best practice when you want to access the SQL2005 DB vcenter and updating manage DB.  In the past, I always created separate user accounts to access their database.

  Any problems if I were to use one account for both of the DB.

  Looking for ideas on this.

  Kind regards

  Rick

  Hello

  Role separation is advisable for many reasons. In this case, you can create a more flexible and more secure configuration using two accounts. Functionally, it work whatever it is, but if you need to separate the instances in the future you might some unwanted configuration dependencies.

  Kind regards

  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: -.

  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?

• The Update/vCenter update manager VM

  Hello

  Maybe it's an obvious question/answer, but I can't seen to find an answer.  If I chose the wrong forum area, please tell me where one must wonder.

  I have a server vCenter (v5.1) and Update Manager (v5.1) running as a virtual machine on one of my hosts.

  I just finished reinstalling my 3 hosts (from v4.1 to v5.1, the upgrade was not an option due to OEM drivers).

  All virtual machines are now running the tools updated

  I now want to upgrade the hardware of VM to Match Host (from v7 to v9) for the vCenter Server (I did for my other servers).

  When I try to fix it I receive the error "VM vCenter2 has either VMware vSphere Update Manager or VMware vCenter Server is installed. This virtual machine will be ignored for the scan and sanitation. "

  Is it possible to improve this virtual machine?

  Thanks for any help / ideas

  Ian

  You can connect to the host vcenter is a and then manually update the virtual machine. through the client.

• You can use Update Manager to install HP marked ESXi 5.0?

  I am running vCenter and Update Manager 5.0 and I have three host machines running the VMware ESX 4.1 U1 edition.  I was thinking of going with the HP install brand because our servers are Proliants.  Can I use the installation of HP ESXi 5.0 through Update Manager?

  As I understand it, once the installation of HP is turned on, I would always install updates for VMware 5.0?

  Someone at - it an entry as to whether using the HP install vs the right VMware one worth?

  Hello

  Yes, you can import the custom HP ESXi ISO 5.0 in Update Manager (in the tab "images ESXi") and create a basic upgrade the host from it. Then you can update your host ESX 4.1 with this baseline.

  I recommend it, because you will not only get the HP drivers update, but also the bundle HP offline (suppliers CIM incl. for the hardware monitoring) installed in this way.

  However, since the image of HP is not at its current level of fix VMware you always install VMware patches after the initial installation.
