Is it possible to upgrade from one compliant version to another using VUM? The VM is already compliant with with host as is it running 10.1.7 but if we want to harmonize tools version across all VM's, can this be done automatically? It appears that the "Tools upgrade to match host" does nothing to the VM that is already compliant. Or if we want to deploy later a patched version because we hit a problem that has been fixed. How can we do this?

Tools Upgrade from e.g 10.1.7 to 10.1.10 with VUM?

Are there any VSphere tools to simplify Windows Updates on VMs?
That's my question. I've read there was something called VUM but that it no longer allows updating guests, only the host.
Thanks.

Update Manager 6.0 - "cancel discovering virtual appliance"
Hey Community,
I have an Issue regarding virtual appliance discovery with Update Manager 6.
To resolve this issue, I deactivated Virtual Appliances scanning in Update Manager see KB:
The Update Manager task Discovering Virtual Appliance never completes (2047100) | VMware KB
After that I restarted the update manager service.
unfortunately the "Cancel discovering virtual appliance" tasks is there and could not be cancelled....
In addition I could not restart vcenter at the moment.
Thx in advance.

Firewall rules between VMware Update Manager (6.5) and ESXi host
Hello All,
We have VMware vCenter Update Manager (VUM) 6.5 installed on a different server, instead of using vCenter server. There is external Firewall existing in the VMware Infrastructure
Can someone verify what ports need to be open to allow successful communication (Scan for Update, Remediate) between VUM and ESXi host(s)?
Source Destination Incoming port/Protocol
========================================
VUM ESXi_host 80 /TCP (not sure?)
902 /TCP
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ESXi_host VUM 80 /TCP
9084 /TCP
9000-9100 /TCP
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Any help would be appreciated.

Dell PowerEdge R715 - ESXi 6.5 Upgrade Incompatible
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to upgrade ESXi 6.0 to ESXi 6.5 on Dell R715 using Dell Customized image, but it showing Incompatible as there's conflicting VIBs which I'd need to remove first.
The upgrade contains the following set of conflicting VIBs:
Micron_bootbank_scsi-mtip32xx-scsi_2.4.10-1OEM.500.0.0.472560
Brocade_bootbank_scsi-bfa_3.2.1.0-1OEM.500.0.0.472560
Brocade_bootbank_net-bna_3.2.0.0-1OEM.500.0.0.472560
Brocade_bootbank_net-bna_3.2.0.0-1OEM.500.0.0.472560
VMware_bootbank_net-qlge_2.0.0.54-1vmw.500.0.0.472560
Brocade_bootbank_scsi-bfa_3.2.1.0-1OEM.500.0.0.472560
VMware_bootbank_net-qlge_2.0.0.54-1vmw.500.0.0.472560
Micron_bootbank_scsi-mtip32xx-scsi_2.4.10-1OEM.500.0.0.472560
Is there a way to find out if there VIBs are in use before I remove them? NIC list command shows the below output.

Dell 5.5 to 6.5 Customized Image Errors in Update Manager
I've got a Dell R620 host at 5.5 Update 3b and I'm trying to use Update Manager in VCSA 6.5 Update 1c to upgrade it to ESXi 6.5 Update 1. I've tried the following images but for each of them it reboots the host then at the "About to Install" screen it keeps showing the logs in the attached screenshots then going round in a loop again to get to the same point. I then have to use recovery mode to get back to the old image before it will boot again.
Images I've tried:
VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.5.0.update01-6765664.x86_64-DellEMC_Customized-A04
VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.5.0.update01-6765664.x86_64-DellEMC_Customized-A02
VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.5.0-5310538.x86_64-DellEMC_Customized-A05
Any idea what could be causing this? I can see there's an error on package compliance but it didn't fail the pre-checks in the Web Client or throw any errors there so I'm not sure how to fix it.

Cannot download software packages from patch source, check the events and udpdate manager logs
Hi All,
I have performed a host upgrade of my host from 5.5 o 6.5 using the host upgrade feature in the vpshere client 6.5 and it has completed successfully and then went ahead and updated the "Critical Host Patches" baseline and applied the outstanding patches as well. However I am facing an issues applying the outstanding patches in the "Non Critical Host Patches" baseline. I have like 11 outstanding patches in them and no matter what I try I cant get them to download and in my vpshere client i see the error "Cannot download software packages from patch source, check the events and udpdate manager logs".
I check the esxupdate.log, and tailed the last 20 lines as you can see below.
I cant seem to figure that out. I downloaded and applied the critical patches but not the other baseline...
Any Ideas?

How to Remove Patches from Update Manager
Hi All,
My Update Manager pulled down the patches that have been pulled - the 201801401-BG and 201801402-BG - on teh 9th. I have not applied them. I have an Intel XEON E5-2620 so I am not applying them. Is there any way to remove them from update manager so that I am not going to continue to show non-compliance? Thanks.
"VUM Customer who has already downloaded the patches associated with VMSA-2018-0004 would continue to persist in the VUM depot even after the EP is rolled-back. But, if customer tries to remediate the corresponding patch baseline created against the bulletins of these patches, following error would be encountered - "Cannot download software packages from patch source".
