• Get the message of sufficient permissions to retrieve the data when I try to access Update Manager vCenter 5.5

  I've recently upgraded to VMware 5.5 and I'm having a problem with the Update Manager for where it says I don't have permissions to use it.  The plugin installs fine without errors.  I myself install as administrator, but it still doesn't let me use it.  I am using vCenter to manage my guests.  Any suggestions?  Thank you!

  To resolve this problem, update manager must be registered for the vCenter Server. This can be done by reinstalling Update Manager, but it can also be done without having to re - install.

  Step 1.

  Remove vCenter update manager plugin by following VMware KB: suppression of the unwanted plugins to vCenter Server

  Step 2.

  To connect to the server on which the Update Manager is installed

  Open the Update Manager utility that is located in your Update Manager installation directory: VMwareUpdateManagerUtility.exe (located by default in C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\Infrastructure\Update Manager\)

  Select Save again with vCenter Server

  Enter your credentials to the vCenter server and select apply

  Once the operation is completed successfully, you are prompted to restart the Update Manager service.

• 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 -

• Installation of VMware Update Manager (vCenter 4) and authentication

  Hi all

  This should be fairly simple.  Can someone please confirm something for me?

  In VI3 when you install VUM and enter a u/p that is used for installation only.  Is this still the case with vSphere?  The installer says now... "Update Manager will need this information to connect to the Server vCenter at startup."   It is not clear, it's just for starting the installer or the start of VUM whenever the service starts?

  See you soon

  Dan

  It is only for the installation process.

  VUM service (such as other services) runs with the credentials of the SYSTEM.

• Remote Server Update Manager with different http port

  To put it simply, I think I might have some problems, but I installed the update on a remote server Manager (and not on the VC server) and since he also manages the WSUS updates, I couldn't use port 80 for the http port so I changed it to 81.  I have problems with the VC connection to Manager Update server.  I can't download the plugin to activate it.  Also, I noticed that there is a full installation of the 2.5u3 on our server of VC, which also included the Update Manager.  Should I uninstall that before the new one would connect upward?

• If the patch management can be done by VMware Update Manager in vCenter Server Appliance as similar vCenter Server

  Hi friends,

  If patches of the host management can be done through Vmware Update manager vCenter Server Appliance as in vCenter Server.

  Tell me other differences between them...

  Kind regards

  Sirot Vijay

  1. Yes we can connect to the device using the vSphere client.

  2. in the installation of the update manager VCenter information will ask and he will automatically fit no special measures required.

  3. no conflict. Its just like you have two vCenter servers, but you can not have two server vCenter managing the same hosts.

• VMWare Update Manager Server does not work after changing name of host/IP

  I have Virtual Center 2.5 update 4 and Manager Update on two separate servers.

  I had to rename and change the IP of the Server Manager to update, and now the Server Update Manager does not work.

  Here are two mistakes that I get, when you try to activate the plugin Update Manager:

  "The server took too long to respond" or "VMWare Update manager cannot accept applications because VirtualCenter.

  Server is not reachable, or it's the database is not reachable

  by train to stop'

  That's what I did to change the host name:

  -J' uninstalled virtual UpdateManager 1.0 Clients Center customer.

  -I stopped the Service VMware Update Manager on the update server

  -J' I renamed the update server changed its IP address and the host name and then rebooted the server (without starting the VMware Update Manager Service)

  -J' changed the value of the fields

  dbo. VPX_EXT_CLIENT. URL

  dbo. VPX_EXT_SERVER.UR

  -in the vCenter (on the vCenter server) database reflecting the new name of the server (the new hostnameis to pings to the vCenter server)

  -J' restarted the vCenter Server

  -J' started the Service VMware Update Manager on the update server

  -J' installed the client plugin update manager Virtual Infrastructure client

  -J' have TRIED to activate the plugin, but I got a warning about an untrusted certificate (I guess it happened also when I installed the client for the first time, and everything worked) and then I got two errors:

  sometimes "the server has taken too much time to react" and a few other times "the VMWare Update manager cannot accept applications because VirtualCenter.

  Server is not reachable, or it's the database is not reachable

  by train to stop'

  I think that there are a few other references to the host name of the Update Manager, which I have not changed, on the vCenter server or Manager Update server...

  Does anyone have an idea what do I do?

  Thank you in advance.

  I would try just reinstalling the update on existing installation manager.  Do not overwrite the database in the process so that you shouldn't really lose anything.  Not the plugin, but since the Update Manager vCenter installation media.

  Give that a try and let us know how it goes.

• How do you update a host unique vm with Update Manager

  I have a single vmware esxi 4.1 host on a remote site and vcenter is a virtual machine, as well as 2 other virtual machines.  It is the target of SRM as well.

  In any case, I tried to address updates in the Update Manager and it expires just waiting to the power off vm.  There is no other host VM in this cluster is not as if something can vmotion off.  So I'm wondering because the Update Manager vcenter server running running on THIS host, if it were to close then maybe Update Manager could not perform?

  How can I update this host, currently on 4.1.0 260247.

  I have an another ESXi 4.0.0 171294 clocked at that site and it can also access the shared storage that can the 4.1 server.  I can't handle this in vCenter and vMotion things to him because I don't have a license to do.  But could I import vcenter to do this and it turns on and then try to restore the other host?

  Thanks for the help.

  patches are cumulative.

  you don't need a vma, its good for multiple hosts.

  just ssh into your box directly if you have only one box

• Update Manager fails to analyze host to upgrade.

  I just recently updated Virtual Server 4.0 Update 1. My next step is to update my servers ESX 3.5 to 4.0 Update 1. After going through the steps and the creation of a reference database that I was unable to analyze the host in order to get it updated. I received the following error message.

  VMware Vcenter Update Manager had an unknown faliure. Responsible for check and tab events and logs for more details.

  Got this error?

  Thank you

  Now, I have the solution. You can find it in http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsp_vum_40u1_admin_guide.pdf on page 45:

  -vCenter Server and Server Update Manager are installed on the same host and their database instances are on

  two different hosts.

  If you separate the VirtualCenter 2 databases and the UpdateManger to different SQL servers.

  Without having to disassemble, I get the following error message:

  Setup has found that several schemes exist in the database, please remove the additional schemas before you continue.

  If you can not ignore this message, you should really separate the VirtualCenter DB of the UpdateManager-DB.

  What's new with 1 updated in ESX V4.0, it wasn't a problem.

• Move another Update Manager server

  So I try to spend our Server Update Manager to its own server in our Virtual Center (vCenter?) server. With hindsight this may not be the best approach, but here's what happened.

  I will stop the service and uninstalled the update of the dedicated server VMUM Manager. I then did a clean installation of U3 Manager Update on our Virtual Center service, with a new database.

  So now, I try to get the Extension Manager update from VMware on the local VI Client is uninstalled, or pointing to the new server VMUM. I found no registry keys on the clients or the VC that point to the old Manager Update Server, but I do check the VC Pb.

  Now my client of VI, said the updated plugin Manager is installed, but when I try and turn it on, it expires either (the remote server was too long) or will appear to be activated without any options.

  Any help? Thank you.

  You missed a step somewhere, the Update Manager is VERY simple.  You will not find the registry keys, because it is a service, it responds to requests.  Then the plug-in responds service on VC, all information that responds to updates.  That's about all.

  Your new VC should be turned off.  You install Update Manager.  Then start the VC service, then the service update manager, and if you followed each line correctly and accurately (a bit like the issuance of instructions in the documentation) it will work.  This is a very simple and easy installation.  This is not really complicated, so if it doesn't work, you lack something, does not have something or gave a wrong info for Update Manager to register.

  If you start VC and update manager they give errors?  Did you reboot the VC AFTER the update server manager installed?

  IF all else fails call VM Ware.  But this process should be simple, there is no real major steps.  If all the services are running, it should work...

• 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.
