Update Manager 6.0 Download Patches for Specific ESX Versions

$

I am running only ESX 6.0 in my environment and I noticed that Update Manager downloads patches for multiple versions of ESX.

 

I am wondering if there is a way to exclude patches for older versions.  I found this in the vci-integrity.xml file:

 

-<contentSettings>

<hostInclude id="0001">embeddedEsx-5.0.0-INTL</hostInclude>

<hostInclude id="0002">embeddedEsx-5.1.0-INTL</hostInclude>

<hostInclude id="0003">embeddedEsx-5.5.0-INTL</hostInclude>

<hostInclude id="0004">embeddedEsx-6.0.0-INTL</hostInclude>

<hostUpdateEnabled>true</hostUpdateEnabled>

<vaUpgradeEnabled>true</vaUpgradeEnabled>

</contentSettings>

 

If I remove the lines for the first three versions, will it download only the patches for esx 6.0 or will I break something?

 

Being the incredibly impatient person that I am, I went ahead and changed the vci-integrity.html file located in "<DriveLetter>:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\Update Manager" to the following:

 

-<contentSettings>

<hostInclude id="0001">embeddedEsx-6.0.0-INTL</hostInclude>

<hostUpdateEnabled>true</hostUpdateEnabled>

<vaUpgradeEnabled>true</vaUpgradeEnabled>

</contentSettings>

 

After editing the file, I restarted the VMware vSphere Update Manager Service and initiated a download of patches through the client.  This seems to have successfully limited the downloads to only version 6.0.
