• VM upgrade with Update Manager - how to tie yourself to the base line of tools

  I'm upgrading from the tools of Virtual Machines on one of our servers ESX - ESX8.

  There are several virtual machines (10-20). I tried to reach the default baseline provided with vSphere (VMware Tools upgrade to Match) on the ESX Server and the VMware tools to upgrade, to Match database does not appear.

  The vShpere update #2 video series shows the user using a folder it created in the virtual machine and discovers patterns with all virtual machines of Xp in a folder.

  He joined upgrade VMware tools to Match base and scans and corrects all Xps.

  If I go to the virtual machine and view models and I see short folder Vms, VMs, templates, etc.

  But the associated virtual machines seem to be in alphabetical order and not in an order that associates them with ESX8.

  If I create a folder under the folder open VMs and try to move the virtual machines associated with ESX8 in the folder, it does not work.

  I even tried to create a new database and tried to add to the game, but always VMware tools upgrade not can link it to the host.

  Is there a way to get the Update Manager to work at the level of the host with the host ESX8, so I can join VMware Tools upgrade ESX8 game database and update tools?

  Otherwise, the update of all virtual machines manually by connecting the base to each line take very long.

  Thank you

  Create your custom (depending on model and VM) folder, move the virtual machine and fix the base line here.

• How to upgrade ESX 1 update to update 2 with the Update Manager?

  Hi, I'm just installing vmware update manager because I want to update my ESX4U1 ESX 4.U2

  But vmware update manager told me that I must use base instead of upgrading basic patch.

  However, patch who will I choose to update my ESX in update 2?

  Is there a single package, or I need to select several fixes?

  Thank you.

• 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.

• Update Manager upgrade of the ESXi host that he is running in a virtual machine does

  That is the question.  Here is some information.  We were a completely virtualized environment for several years.  2 guests ESXi collocated 5.5 to different data centers connected of course by a VPN site-to site.  The VPN itself is provided by VMs and vCenter runs in a VM to one of the sites as Update Manager is to proceed with installing it. If the vCenter and/or VPN VMs are down, we have a very cool backup method to gain access to and manage ESXi and its console.   Some of you who read the rest of the present will be tempted to suggest to architecting our environment differently, but we are very pleased with the way it is thank you very much :-)  Appreciate all the answers but really just responded to this specific question.

  The reason why we want to Update Manager is really just to be able to upgrade easily ESXi in the future without enter in the console and the execution of orders, etc.  I realize the documentation and blogs on this topic that ESXi may need to go into maintenance mode and stop the virtual machines running on it (not a cluster if no migration) how ESXi is lose connection to the Update Manager (if the remote host) or a stop Update Manager (if the local host).  So the question is, is that the process of updating managed by Update Manager an atomic operation at that crucial moment or a sequence of operations depend on continuous connectivity and control of Update Manager.  Ddoes ESXi, then perform the upgrade and restart regardless - that would be great - or he'll just stand there in maintenance mode to learn more about disconnected now / stop Manager update pending.

  Your answers are greatly appreciated.

  Please, tell me if I understand you:

  Ask yourself if you can upgrade the host running Update Manager VM? And you cannot migrate the virtual to another host machine because there is no cluster in place and no shared storage?

  If your answer is YES to both questions, I can tell you that you cannot use Update Manager, since you must put your host in Maintenance Mode and therefore you will need to stop all virtual machines running, including the VM Manager Update.
