Why is so slow to fix (install updates) ESX

Maybe it's my configuration or maybe it's just a poorly designed packaging system, but someone can tell me why it takes so long to install updates in ESX (3.5 u4)?

It may take a good 20-30 minutes to install a fix how one of the CPU is located at 100% for most of the time, it happens through all my guests. Surely, it is not intended to be slow so painstakinly.

Any ideas? Would it be the number of updates, I have in my base? Joel

Maybe it's my configuration or maybe it's just a poorly designed packaging system, but someone can tell me why it takes so long to install updates in ESX (3.5 u4)?

I don't know why.  Reclamation is 2 things, it copies ALL of the updates to the ESX directly.  It then retrieves them.  But before he starts, it queries the server known ESX updates, then decides who is applicable, then it installs updates.

It takes a long time to copy files 120 + (5 GB of files) and then do an inventory, then extract, then install.  You can see the part of the installation in the VI Client, but must see esxtop 'watching' the other process.  Sometimes, it can take an hour to restore, even when there is only 1 or 2 patches to install...

    Hello Raghav Kabra,

    Thank you for your message.  To clarify, is the performance of your computer when you install/download updates Windows or after you have started for the first time trolling, because updates have taken effect?  If this is the case, the reasons could be:
    1. in the download, you'll be using your internet connection, which will slow down your bandwidth as well as the use of processing power to perform the update.  A little dip lag or performance would not be out of the question here.
    2 when you install updates, the processor will work to install the necessary files that have been downloaded on your computer which may cause a dip in performance.
    3. When you start your computer for the first time after an update, you may experience a longer period of logon, because the computer to initialize all the updates that you have just downloaded and installed.
    If you encounter a performance problem, every time that you start your computer, you may need to make some changes that will allow your computer to work optimally.

    Usually, I found that this happens when installing .NET updates - if you give the machine 20 or so minutes to regroup and then restart, the problem disappears usually.
