Hi,
My UMDS is configured as follows:
vmware-umds -S --disable-host --disable-va
vmware-umds -S -e embeddedEsx-5.0.0 embeddedEsx-5.1.0
vmware-umds -D
So I expect to only get host updates for ESXi 5.x.
In the umds\hostupdate\vmw directory, I only have these files:
__hostupdate20-consolidated-metadata-index__.xml
vmw-ESX-4.1.0-notification.zip
vmw-ESXi-4.1.0-notification.zip
vmw-ESXi-5.0.0-metadata.zip
vmw-ESXi-5.0.0-notification.zip
vmw-ESXi-5.1.0-notification.zip
4 Questions:
1) Why is it downloading 4.x files?
2) The files are being exported into shared repository. However other UM clients are looking for a file called vmw-ESXi-5.1.0-metadata.zip, which does not exist, which makes the patch update fail in vCenter ("Cannot download patch definitions"). Is this file supposed to exist?
3) Does your vmw directory have this file?
4) When I run vmware-umds -D, I see a bunch of errors where there are timeouts downloading certain files, is this normal?
Thanks!!! Any help is appreciated.
