How to manage Updates/Upgrades on a remote Server?

Hello,

Kimsufi.com installed a dedicated server for me with ESX1 5.0 Update 1 and don't provide physical access or KVM for this.

How this can be updated to Update 3 or upgraded to 5.1/5.5  free version?

What should be my first steps regarding security?

Peter

Download offline Zip file and  use vIMA appliance and run esxcli software install/update commands.

Refer KB VMware KB: Installing patches on an ESXi 5.x host from the command line for additional details
