Hi,
Just starting out using VUM, and having trouble understanding a few things.
Currently running vmware 5.1 hosts on build 5.1.0, 2583090, with vcenter 1235233, I need to upgrade the hosts to 5.1 Update 3 to support another tool we use.
Vmware suggests the build number 5.1.0, 2583090 is ESXI 5.1 Patch 7, but the build number seems to be released after update 3.
Question 1 - Whats the difference between a patch and an update?
Question 2 - if patch 7 is installed do I need update 3?
Question 3 - Does it matter which way I patch? Should I use update manager, should I download the patch to an ISO?
Help would be much appreciated
