Hi, I have just taken a role of another VM Engineer at my company who last built the ESXi host in December 2015. The version he deployed was 6.0.0 3029758 and he never patched it. I now need to patch this fairly urgently as an Audit requirement. Do I need to patch this host with all the previous Updates or can I patch with the very latest Patch that is available, which is ESXi600-201711001.zip.
Thanks
Hi!
All patches are cumulative. So you need to install the latest one and you will get updated version.
if this server is standalone (Not in vcenter) than you can patch latest on ESXi600-201711001, you can see below link about VMware ESXi 6.0, Patch Release ESXi600-201711001
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2151126
https://esxi-patches.v-front.de/ESXi-6.0.0.html
if it is in Vcenter than first you have upgrade your V-cnetr with latest build than update your ESXI host

Hi,
If you have a vCenter and Update Manager in place in your environment then you can update the ESXi host directly in a single click to the latest patches by selecting the required patches and build number you want via update Manager
