Hello there,
after i've upgraded my vCenter from 5.1 to 5.5-u2 i cannot download patch definition anymore. Yes, there is a proxy between the vC and the Internet, but the vC can pass the Proxy without any problems. When i click on "Test connection", i get "Internet connection is working proberly. All tested URLs hav been accessed successfully".
Right now i have 3 different download sources:
https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml
https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/csco-main/csco-depot-index.xml
http://vmwaredepot.dell.com/index.xml
As you can see, all of them are accessible and online. My update manager even shows me, that it's online, since in the "Connectivity Status"-Column it says "Connected".
My Proxy-Log shows me, that the Update Manager can access the files, but this:
| 1424435189.603 | 0 **VCENTER-IP** TCP_MEM_HIT/200 9049 GET http://vmwaredepot.dell.com/DEL/DEL-OM-SrvAdmin-7.2.0-ESX-4.1.0-metadata.zip - HIER_NONE/- application/zip |
The file size is 0. "TCP_MEM_HIT" means, that the file already is in the cache of the proxy-server. To make things more strange, i have a lab-domain with two hosts and a vCenter with Update Manager who can download the files.
What i have done so far:
- Upgrade the vCenter-Server from 5.1 to 5.5-u2 (including Update Manager)
- Restarted the vCenter-Server a couple of times
- Deleted the contents of "C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Update Manager\Data\"
To be clear, this is a Windows Server 2008 R2, it's activated, recent updates, the VMware Infrastructure is licensed and so on.
