VMware vCenter Update Manager Client installation fails
I have a system that has been upgraded to ESX 3.5 to vSphere and installed successfully the vSphere Client, can see my hosts and virtual machines without any problem. I install the plugin VM converter, but when I try to install the plugin Update Manager it fails every time.
I'm installing on a 64-bit Windows 7 computer (my laptop is also Win7 64 bit and it installed successfully there). I tried to install the application and get the error message in the Windows application logs:
Product: VMware vCenter Update Manager Client - Setup cannot continue. VMware vSphere Client is not found to be installed on this computer. VMware vCenter Update Manager Client can be installed only on machines where VMware vSphere Client is present.
I've already entered my store of % TEMP % and tried to install just the exe file (VMware - UMClient.exe) and who is not, I copied the extracted files, including all the files .ini, .bmp, .msi and .mst to the root of my C drive and tried installing from there. All this provided the same failure.
During the installation, I get this message first indicating the location of my vSphere Client installation:
When I click on the only 'real' installation option, then spend a few seconds and then I get this message:
Click ok and then get a message saying that the installation has failed.
I managed to do install finally.
The strange solution was that I had to log on as an administrator of my machine and then install the plugin. Even if my account is an administrator account.
Anyway, problem solved, works perfectly and am clean now.

Where should I install VMWare vCenter Update Manager?
I have a client vSphere VM (Windows XP), vCenter VM (Win 2003) and 6 Linux server VM on my ESXi server.
Should I avoid installing Update Manager on a virtual computer on the ESXi server, or if it is not serious?
I prefer to install on my client vSphere VM, but not sure that this has disadvantages because both the ESXi to-be-implementation to date and the VM Updater-Manager would be the same physical machine.
Even if the Update Manager is the preferred method, with the environment, you have (1 host, 6 VMs) I would consider updating the host manually (using vihostupdate) and don't even bother with the installation of Update Manager.

I uninstalled and reinstalled, I triple checked that I can connect on the VCenter server using the account Update Manager DB owner on the Update Manager database. I can connect to SQL using the native client ODBC SQL 2008 under the same account. But we get the same error of several machines when we install and run the plugin VCenter.
Any ideas?
If you use Windows authentication to connect to the database, you have to change the user who initially on the virtual center of the Update Manager service. You must put the name of user and password of the user that can connect to the database (by default Update Manager beginning with the Local System account. During the installation if the vCenter Server is on Windows 2008 I think you must also use the FQDN of the server vCenter (or ip address) to be sure it get the right address (something to do with IPv6 on Windows 2008). At least it worked for me.

vCenter Update Manager install confusion
I'm finally getting around to installing vCenter Update Manager for our environment vSphere 4.1, but I'm having a nightmare of a time to settle. VCenter is installed on a Windows 2008 R2 64-bit server, my SQL box is MS SQL 2005 installed on an old Windows 2003 64-bit server.
Went in several circles between SQL 32 bit DSN, ODBC 64-bit drivers and the unauthorized download service must be installed on the same server as the Update Manager. When you run the installation on my vCenter server, I get the following message:
The vCenter Server is incompatible with the VMware vCenter Update Manager you install. Please select a compatible Server vCenter.
At this point I don't yet really if I get it to talk to our SQL Server or not. I want just the installed software. If anyone knows what's the magic combination to get everything going, I would really appreciate the info.
hope that the 4.1 version of the vCenter server. In this case, if the version of the 4.1 Update Manager must be installed with the hassle. If the server vCeneter is 4.1 and Manager Update 41U1/U2, then installation will fail with the above error. 41U1 is not comaptible with 41 VC. Please refer to the software compatibility guide. http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.PDF

vCenter update manager install - vcenter server isn't compatible?
I try to install vcenter update manager. I tried the two 4.0 update 1 and 4.0 Update 2. Both give me an error in the first step of the installation when I specify our vcenter server, port, username, etc. He states:
"vcenter server is incompatible with the vmware vcenter update manager that you are installing.
We run vcenter 4.1.0 (build 258902). I can't find any information on this error. Was hoping to find an answer here before opening a SR with vmware.
If you use vCenter 4.1, you must install VUM 4.1, which can be located on the vCenter installation CD in the folder updateManager. VCenter is a 64-bit application, VUM is not and still requires a 32-bit DSN.

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.

vCenter Update Manager 4.1
I'm sorry for the silly question, but I'm at my wits end, trying to find the installer for Update Manager 4.1
I am running 4.0 ESXi and vSphere 4.0 and I'm trying to update the hosts to ESXi 4.1 using the Update Manager, but it seems that I can't do it until I update the server vCenter Update Manager 4.1. I believe that I have improved vCenter successfully, but I understand that I will not be able to actually run the 4.1 client until I have a crowd of 4.1 running. :/Can someone please provide the link to download Update Manager 4.1 extension?
Thank you
VUM is provided with/in the media of vCenter.

I cann't vcenter update manager...
Hi all
I have 4 standard installed on Win2K3 server vcenter. I see no option for vcenter update manager under plugins installed or available in the plugin Manager. How to do it?
have you installed VUM? It is not installed by default. I do not have the beam ISO vcenter in front of me, but if you browse the ISO/DVD you will find a folder Update Manager.
We usually install VUM on a separate virtual computer and create a new instance of the DB, but it can be shared with your VCDB if you need to

Passage of 3.5u3 in vSphere4 - Question on vCenter Update Manager
Morning all,
We watch move from 3.5u3 to 4 and have never installed vCenter Update Manager (updates manual favorite).
Reading upgrade procedures he explains how we can improve the cluster (5 esx servers) to 4 using the Update Manager.
I was wondering which is the best way to go (the upgrade will not place outside office hours so no confusing our users)
(1) install Update Manager (relevant version for 3.5u3) now (this allows us to provide fully functional)
(2) install the Update Manager (version 3.5u3) on Saturday morning, just before the upgrade
(3) install Update Manager v4 (new now allowing time to test)
(4) install Update Manager v4 on Saturday morning, just before the upgrade
The reason to ask, I have very little knowledge of the update manager and the last thing I really want is ad-hoc updates applied (as the updates of windows). I'm guessing the number 3 is the best option in this way I can test and have fully functional before necessary - but prefer to get the opinion of those who could have a better understanding.
TIA

Use vCenter Server 4.0 (U1) and the new AUVS.

VMware vSphere Update Manager extension
Hello community!
I have a vSphere of VMware update Manager 6 installed in my vSphere6 env.
Update Manager works great and updates the hosts, but in WebClient in the tab "System Configuration" in the State of health services I observe "VMware vSphere Update Manager extension" in a critical situation.
When I open it I see following:
I checked the Update Manager and vpxd connects and found nothing suspicious.
No idea what this could be?
Problem solved after following KB:
Please make sure that you fillfulled all the FQDN, IP and dns short name in certificate request
My previous certificate did not short dns name that caused my problem.

VMware vCenter Lifecycle Manager and vSpehere 4
Hello..
is VMware vCenter Lifecycle Manager compatible with vsphere 4?
Thank you
Hi alancivita,
VMWare Lifecycle Manager 1.1 will support vSphere 4 in so-called "compatibility mode" - which means that only the characteristics of Virtual Center 2.5 will be supported
VSphere 4-specific features are not supported.
Kind regards
