VMWare Update Manager, patch lost files, how to re - download all?

Hello

We have a laboratory to test very small/dev with some ESX server and a Management Server VI including the Update Manager. This administration server is only a standalone machine with two local disks. In the vci - integrity.xml, we moved the location for the hotfix on a second drive data store

& lt; docRootHostUpdates & gt;

& lt; namespace & gt; "" vci / / hostupdates "& lt; / space names & gt;

& lt; path & gt; D:\VMWarePatchStore\Data\ & lt; / path & gt;

& lt; / docRootHostUpdates & gt;

and

& lt; patchStore & gt; D:\VMWarePatchStore\Data\ & lt; / patchStore & gt;

Everything worked well for several months, until the D: drive crashed and the entire data store has been lost. Well, obviously no backup of this patch store because the idea was that these data can at any time be re-uploaded, if necessary. Only the C-disk's backup.

Well, now we're at the stage where I have to re - download / fill this store patch, but I can't understand how to do this...

Last weekend several 3.0.3 new patches have been released, and they have been downloaded in the patchStore. But no version 3.5.0 patches. (All of our ESX servers are 3, 5 - U2 all patches until December). When I run a "Scan for Updates" on any of the hosts-ESX, I get an error message in the file esxupdate.log on the ESX host:

26 jan 09-0842 DEBUG: Summary: / usr/sbin/esxupdate - HA - d - flushcache http:// & lt; system-ip & gt;:80/vci/hostupdates/hostupdate/esx/esx-3.5.0 scan

09 jan 26-0842 ERROR: hostagent: Extra :()

Well, of course, that the file cannot be found, it was lost in the disk crash. The D-drive has been replaced, and I created the necessary directories manually. But in the subdirectory 3.5.0 - esx, there is no content and that the update of the weekly signature work runs and completes successfully, the lost content is not automatically recreated. I guess if there are new patches, they would appear there. But none of the 'old' patches of disk crash. If add us an ESX or need to re - install one, we need to patch, so I want to patch-store to be "complete" and contain at least the required corrections published after 3.5.0-U2.

Then... I wonder what to do. Should I uninstall the Update Manager and re-install? I would like to avoid this. I couldn't find any command line interface (do not even talk about GUI) so far. Any help?

Thanks in advance, Herbert

The Update Manager database yet entered saying that patches are on the D: drive, even if they aren't there.  The entries in the database must be purged, or simply create a new database and point your current Manager to update to the new database.  All updates will then be re-uploaded.

  • 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.

  • using vmware update manager to update Dell M630 ESXI 5.5 update 3

    I use put vmware update manager (VUM) up-to-date Dell M630 ESXI 5.5 updated 3. The Dell build was published on 11/13/15.

    The results of the baseline VUM are attached. I was surprised that some older patches from 2014 are suggested, and even complete full update and 2 update 3. Is a common practice to just update with whataver MUV said, or is it best to get VUM to apply the patches after the date of release of a version of the seller?

    If missing the update you must certainly apply. I'm just going by what suggests Manager Update and apply all the patches.

  • The downloaded update package cannot be used with vSphere VMware Update Manager

    Hello

    I am improving a system of vmware (Vcenter + 3 host) of 5.1 to 5.5

    I did a reinstall total Manager Vcenter and updated to version 5.5, using a new database.

    Then, I want to update my hosts with Update Manager.

    When I download VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 5.5.0 - 1331820.x86_64 in Update Manager, I get the message: cannot use the update package downloaded with vSphere VMware Update Manager


    I also tried to import VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 5.1 (Build: 1065491) but I get the same error

    In my view, the vmware KB2009812 is not applicable, because I've updated UDM first to 5.5

    Any idea?

    I'm in vCenter Server on a Windows 2003 Server; I also installed VMware update manager

    I was at a loss on how to run the Update Manager, then I fell on the PDF, saying he should be a supplement that is visible when I connect to my server Vcenter; The problem is, I don't see anything.  Apparently it's suppseose to be under home & gt; Solutions and Applications & gt; Update Manager, but I don't have that

    try restarting your vCenter Server Service.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    I want to use vmware update manager update my vmware environment. So what version of MUV is necessary the download, thanks!

    Yes, you can download 5.5 and the environment 5.1 to 5.5.

    You will need to start by vCenter, then ESXi hosts.

    After you are done before the two, you can go ahead and install VUM.

    Another option is to upgrade vCenter, install VUM and then upgrade of servers using AUVS.
