Vsphere 6.5 update manager how to#
This concludes my demonstration on how to update ESXi (vSphere).Use the following steps to upgrade your ESXi version to the latest version without download patches first! We are going to use Putty to talk against the command line 🙂įirst step, put your ESXi server into maintenance mode : vim-cmd /hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter We can see the latest version displayed: VMware ESXi 6.5.0 build 6765664. To make a final verification, go back to “Summary” tab of the updated ESXi server. The patches are validated as “Installed” now. “Compliance Status” changed to “Compliant”. After the ESXi server is back online, it will taken out of maintenance mode and will be again production ready.
Vsphere 6.5 update manager Patch#
The ESXi server will enter in maintenance mode, patch will be installed and verified. You can monitor the status using “Recent Tasks” area.
Vsphere 6.5 update manager series#
If you are satisfied with the configuration, click “Finish”.Ī series of tasks will start now. Verify the details listed in “Ready to complete” step. It may be a good idea to migrate powered off VMs from the host, just in case somebody will try to power on a VM while the server is unavailable. Click “Next”.įor “Cluster remediation options” you may want to check the last option (“Migrate powered off…”). We are in “Host remediation options” step now. I want the update process to start immediately, so I keep schedule section untouched. “Advanced options” step allows us to schedule the action.
Click “Next”.įor “Patches and extensions” step, make sure the correct patches are selected. Click “Next”.įor “Select target objects” step, make sure the ESXi server you plan to update is selected. Select the custom baseline created earlier. We also see a list of the patches included in the host baseline and Compliance Status for each patch. When the task is completed, “Compliance Status” is changed as “Non-Compliant”. In the “Recent Tasks” area from the lower part of the screen you will see a “Scan entity” task. Keep both checkboxes checked and click “OK”. “Compliance Status” is listed as Unknown. We see the baseline attached to the host. I will select the custom patch I created at previous step. Now that I have my custom baseline created, I will click on the ESXi server I want to update ( in my case), then click on “Update Manager” tab. The new host baseline is listed in the “Custom” section. If you are satisfied with the configuration, click “Finish”. I am in “Ready to complete” stage of the new baseline wizard. You can click on the Details URL link to read all the details of this patch. Select the patch and click on “Show patch details…”.Ī pop-up window with patch details appears.
I will enter the bulletin number I noted from my. page (ESXi650-201710401-BG). Easiest way to find your patch is to filter by bulletin number. Click “Next”.įor “Patch options” select “Fixed”. Make sure “Host Patch” is selected for “Baseline type”. Choose a name for your baseline (I will use the bulletin number). What we want to do now is to create a new custom baseline, containing the update for the desired ESXi patch level. You can see we already have two baselines, “Non-Critical Host Patches” and “Critical Host Patches”. Take note of the Bulletin Number, we will use it later: ESXi650-201710401-BG.īack to vSphere Web Client, I will click on Home button, then on “Update Manager” link.Ĭlick on the name of your vCenter Server to load the Update Manager page. As you can see below, latest build is 6765664. I will use now my. site.to find the latest version for ESXi 6.5. In the right panel, I can see the installed product: VMware ESXi 6.5.0 build 5310536. I navigate in the left panel to the ESXi server I plan to update (). As you can see below, I am running vCenter version 6.5.0, build 6816762, which is the latest version at the moment I am writing this article. I will connect to my vCenter Server using vSphere Web Client and I will check the vCenter version. Note: If you look for VCSA update instructions, check this article: How to Update vCenter Server Appliance to 6.5 Update 1b. Update process for VMware solutions can be tricky, so for specific order update for VMware products I suggest you to check KB2147289. As a rule of thumb, you always need to update vCenter Server before ESXi (vSphere). In this demonstration I will use vCenter Update Manager, so I must have the proper vCenter version already installed. In this article I will demonstrate how to easily update ESXi 6.5 using Update Manager.
