• Plugin simple issue of Update Manager

  Hello

  Question very simple but just to confirm.

  I see "VMware vCenter Update Manager" in Manager plugins «Download and install» view state

  You want to know if I install it, there will be any kind of automatic configuration for downloading patches etc host, everything will begin affecting our hosts, vms, or nothing will change, there is tab Manager Update, nothing else?

  Thank you.

  There is no harm to download and install, this is a plugin from the client and does not affect your hosts somehow. Once installed get you an additional "Update Manager" tab where you can switch between the compliance and view admin to manage your infrastructure. Patches are downloaded in a central repository and deployed only to your hosts when you fix them - this is not an automatic process, please start it.

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  There are a few older threads pertaining to these types of questions, unfortunately usually a reinstall of VUM seems to be the fix, another pointer seems to be linked to a path variable, but this seems to depend on what type of h/w you run

• Install the Update Manager plugin on my laptop

  I installed the VIC on my laptop and computer laptop of my colleague and the autcomatically of downloads began. Does this mean that the patches are being downloaded somewhere on my laptop?

  Should I have installed the PLUGIN on my virtual server to the Center first? Is how important it? If so, should I uninstall and reinstall the plugin on my VC server first?

  The patches are not being downloaded to your laptop.  The plugin only allows you to manage Update Manager of in vCenter.  The actual installation of the update on the Server Manager determines the location of the hotfix downloads.

  Don't worry, order in which you have installed plug-ins in.  Just install in places you need to manage your environment.

• Essentials more Kit - can't find the Update Manager

  Hi all

  We are using VMware Essentials Plus Kit. Now, I want to update our vSphere ESXi hosts. Unfortunately I don't find the Update Manager in vSphere Client when connected to vCenter. See screen attached.

  1 belongs to Update Manager Essentials Plus Kit?

  2. How can I add update plugin eat at my facility?

  

  
  

  Thanks for help.

  Update Manager is a separate facility that AFAIK.  A server with a database connection is needed to run it.

  If you run the Vmware-VIMSetup-all file from a windows-based server, you will see the installer for the Manager to update as well as prerequisites for installation.

• 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.

• Unable to upgrade to or install Update Manager 5.1.0 Update 2

  Hello

  I have Update Manager 5.1 update 1 installed and working. I've just updated the server vcenter to 5.1.0 Update 2 and now trying to upgrade the VUM to also update 2. During the upgrade it kept failing on the login screen of vCenter vCenter Server username and password entered is not recognized. Now the account works, I logged onto the server vCenter as this account and can connect on the client vSphere under this account. The account is an administrator of vCenter.

  I could not upgrade to work so decided to completely uninstall VUM and reinstall it again with the update 2 version, but I get exactly the same error. I don't know where to go with this. I tried located accounts but no joy. I get the following in the vminst.log: -.

  Interestingly, since the upgrade to vCenter 5.1 update 2, our Veeam VM backups started failing. It is said the service account used to connect to vcenter can no longer do. I think that I now have a vCenter problem rather than with single update manager. Of course, I can live without Manager Update for awhile, but not without our Veeam backup.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  As a result, we actually had major problems with authentication of domain vCenter. All 3rd party plugins did not exist to authenticate (including our Veeam backup) which makes it a little more serious. We could however connect you if one account local existence on the server vCenter himself. We could log on to the server vCenter as a domain account (which is a member of the Administrators group) and then launch the vSphere client, choosing to use "windows session credentials. If we typed in a user and a password that he will not allow you to connect.

  We then looked at logging on to the web client that has failed with an error similar to the following: -.

  The authentication server has returned an unexpected error: ns0:RequestFailed: internal error during the creation of SAML 2.0 token. The error can be caused by a source of identity with a malfunction.

  We could however login to the web client as admin@System-Domain to display the UNIQUE Admin authentication settings and make the necessary changes.

  So we knew now that it was more a problem of SSO. Knowledge base articles has made the removal of the source of the local identity that we were not happy in doing so, we placed a call with VMware. VMware response was to deploy a VAPP 5.5 vCenter to see if version 5.5 of SSO can fix this (we run 5.1), we could go SSO to 5.5. Also, we were not satisfied with this response as the new VAPP and SSO version probably would work it would be a clean install. He has not proved that the exsiting SSO to 5.5 upgrade does not have the same problem.

  We started trawling through the logs and noticed that there are errors in connection to DCs in a trusted domain (us authenticate not to all accounts etc. in this trusted domain). The trusted domain has been listed as a source of identity in the web client, we decided to remove the domain from the list of sources of identity (after consultation with VMware that said that we could remove it but he wouldn't do anything). We do not think it would work, but it did! We discovered since AD team that there were some problems with the trust between our domain and the other domain and we can only think that after restarting the server vCenter for 5.1 installation update 2 that he then picked up on these issues.

  Just thought this may be helpful to anyone experiencing similar problems.

• vCenter Update Manager IP address

  Hi people,

  Recently, we had a controller failure on our HP DL360 G5 server and operating system does not start as the disks are not available. We managed to install vCenter Server 5.U 3 quickly on a nearby spare server and the existing DB point. The new server has preserved the old IP address of the server that we do not want to bring intellectual property changes affecting our client connectivity.

  I reinstalled Update Manager from scratch and get option details vCenter IP and connect and everything seems normal, except that when I installed the plugin and the configuration of the Access tab, the specified IP address is old IP of the spare server had and don't watch not the IP that I expect. To implement the details

  VC1 - 192.168.170.101

  VC1 - DR - 192.168.170.102

  VC1 crashed and we raised quickly VC1 - DR, changed the IP 192.168.170.101 and installed vCenter Server. Update Manager for some reason any shows me 192.168.170.102 where I guess que.101.

  I followed the instructions on 101322 KB and extension.xml right ip (. 101) and may not know where that IP address is stored. Enjoy a counselor who could help me solve this problem.

  I managed to find the cause of this problem.

  There was a static host to vCenter DR & old IP entry. Once removed, reinstalled VUM and happy now.

  However, starting with the next version of vSPhere, the traditional vSphere client will disappear and the web client will be used.

  Although the plans are to drop the Windows Client in the future, I'm sure that VMware Update Manager in the Web to integrate Client or always ship the Windows Client until all plugins are available for the Web Client.

• 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.

• Update Manager disappeared?

  Recently, the Update Manager disappeared vsphere. The tab has completely disappeared. I tried to reinstall it on vCenter, but it will not always be displayed. I recently installed the web client of vsphere. Who would have broken Update Manager?
