I'm new to esxi and am looking for advice. I have 2 esxi 5 servers and the vCenter virtual appliance. I would like to update these systems to update 1 (when I say these systems, I'm referring to both esxi servers and the vCenter server). I don't have the vShpere Update Manager, but I would like to use it if possible. From what I read, it should come with vCenter, but I dont' have it somehow. Does anybody know how I can get it, and would I have to setup a seperate virtual or physical server for it?
Also, if I wanted to update the servers manually, I'm assuming I just download the updates and run them on the servers. Is the update process the same for the vCenter virtual appliance? Do I use the same update file that I would use on the esxi servers for the vCenter server?
vCenter 5.0.0 Build 455964
esxi 5.0.0 469512
