I'm running ESX 4.1, VUM 4.1 and cannot seem to get patches to stage without the dreaded 33% hanging point. I have tried all the available kb remedies such as the mime type fix in the Tomcat web.xml file, I've removed the meta/host data files and have re-downloaded the patches via VUM. The folders are recreated and fully repopulated. When I try and stage the patches VUM shows 34 available patches. I've removed all but 1 (ie. update vmware tools) to try and streamline the process but the staging process will stay at 33% until the eventual timeout and issue the error "cannot download VIB files from patch source"
I'm beyond frustrated right now as I've been at this off and on for days. Any ideas?
Thanks.
