Hi All,
My Update Manager pulled down the patches that have been pulled - the 201801401-BG and 201801402-BG - on teh 9th. I have not applied them. I have an Intel XEON E5-2620 so I am not applying them. Is there any way to remove them from update manager so that I am not going to continue to show non-compliance? Thanks.
"VUM Customer who has already downloaded the patches associated with VMSA-2018-0004 would continue to persist in the VUM depot even after the EP is rolled-back. But, if customer tries to remediate the corresponding patch baseline created against the bulletins of these patches, following error would be encountered - "Cannot download software packages from patch source".
you can follow instructions here to re-initialize the VUM DB without re-installing VUM:

After applying the latest vCenter update, it seems to have cleared the patch. Thanks.
Hi ranchuab,
The article provided seems to work only for VUM for Windows. Any ideas about how to do the same using embedded VUM in VCSA 6.5?
Thanks,
Looks good to me. Thanks mate!
Nice to hear that. is issue got resolve .
Hi ranchuab ,
I was just asking about VCSA in case I need to reset a production VUM database in the future.
Unfortunately, VMware doesn't provide any CLI or GUI to remove obsolete packages which would be nice to have. My primary concern is about the disk space of VCSA when the number of updates grow.
I haven't done testing yet, but will do one in my home lab shortly.
Thanks,
