Essentials Plus Kit - Can't find Update Manager

[lmigo]

Hi all,

we're using VMware Essentials Plus Kit. Now I want to update our vSphere ESXi hosts. Unfortunately I can't find Update Manager in vSphere Client when connected to vCenter. See attached screen.

1. Is Update Manager part of Essentials Plus Kit?

2. How can I add Update Manger plugin to my installation?

Thanks for Help.

Update manager is a separate install as far as I am aware.  It will require a server with a database connection to run it.

If you run the Vmware-VIMSetup-all file from a windows based server you will see the installer for Update manager along with necessary prerequisites for the install.
