Hi all,
I set up an UMDS and added the HP vibsdepot. I can see HP-patches in the patch store (E:\UMDS\hostupdate\HPQ).
But I can't see the hp-patches in the UM who is downloading from the UMDS.
What I noticed: the HPQ directory in not registered in the xml file in the hostupdate directory (__hostupdate20-consolidated-index__.xml).
Did I do anything wrong? Do I have to modify the xml file manually?
This is the current config:
c:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\Update Manager>vmware-umds -G

Yup. Got it.
Don't use the "shared repository".
[x] Direct connection to the internet -> "Add Download Source..." -> URL: http....
For me it looks like this:
http://<url...bla..bla...>/hostupdate/__hostupdate20-consolidated-index__.xml
http://<url...bla..bla...>/vaupgrade/.......xml (I don't use va upgrades at the moment)
That's it.

Hei man!
Did you got it resolved? I have the same problem.
Yup. Got it.

Thank you for writing back. Are you sure you can actually see HP patches in repository?
I can add vmware XML file but not the same wizard does not recognize HPQ XML file. "Connectivity status - Not Connected".
Yes.
I attached some screenshots (webbrowser & update manager).
I (sort of) got mine working too. Before I was downloading only ESXi5.1 with UMDS, but looks like all HP updates are for 5.0. I also had to download metadata.hp-nmi-esxi5.0-bundle-.1-2-sept2012.zip file manually and put it in right folder. For some reason UMDS did not download it.
So you install them (HP 5.0 patches) to ESXi5.1 or 5.5 too?
