vSphere 5 How To Part 6 Install Update Manager 5


With vSphere 5 there is also an updated Update Manager. This is pretty much the same Update Manager we are familiar with in VUM4 but there is one suprise, or shock another might say?! Update Manager 5 no longer provides updates to the guest OS (Windows and Linux) as in previous releases.You will need to use something such as WSUS or System Center for Windows and setup your own update repo for Linux. It does still provide updates for hosts, including upgrading from ESX/ESXi 4 to ESXi 5. You cannot upgrade from ESX/ESXi 3.x to ESXi 5 (as one would expect). 1. Insert DVD or unzip "VMware-VIMSetup-all-5-xxxxxx.zip" If it does not autorun, use "autorun.exe" in the root of the cd or folder. Click "vSphere Update Manager" to start the installation

2. Select the desired language, Click Ok.

3. The installation wizard will start, Click Next.
