I have built a new vCenter Server to replace an old one that is about dead but still using the same database. I installed Update Manager on the new server but having issues running a scan on my 2 ESXi 5.1 hosts. The scan successfully runs on an older 4.1 host. Looking at the vmware-vum-server-log4cpp.log I see errors on each 5.1 scan where it can't find the metadata file for the Dell OpenManage ESXi tool. I recall adding this on the old vCenter Server a while back to demo but do not want it added at this time. The patch file shows up in my Patch Repository and I have excluded it from the baseline that it was in. The error continues to show in the log with each errored scan.
I have looked at the old vCenter Server machine but due to us uninstalling/reinstalling so much the C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Update Manager\Data\hostupdate directory is now blank. How can I get rid of this patch entry for good?
