Hi All,

I have ESX 3.5 and 3.0.2. I need to upgrade a software vim, bind, openssl.

Why on 3.0.2 is using extension *.tgz? And on 3.5 is using *.zip.

How do I upgrade the two extension? What I know from the documentation is to do below?

mkdir /var/updates
mv <updatename>.tar.gz /var/updates
cd /var/updates
tar -xvzf <updatename>.tar.gz
cd <updatename>

But that's a *.tar.gz. Is *.tgz the same as *.tar.gz? And on the *.zip. Just unzip the file and do below.

esxupdate -r file:/var/updates/<updatename> update

And any last word for openssl upgrade on an ESX vmware center. Any comments like reboot console or reboot server.

Please help, thanks.
