Update Manager - Downloading vibs

Hi guys,

i'am very confused about that - maybe theires is a solution.

i have following Situation.

i use the Source from UpdateManager and to Sync it to an other Destination. And theire i changed the __hostupdate20-consolidated-index__.xml  to index.xml.

reason why i changed the xml on the Sync Destination is because i use the Esxi Servers to connect to it and to make Auto Remotepatching Smiley Wink. (because i use PXE Kickstart Auto-Installation and use the esxcli command to remote connect) > and theire he scans for index.xml

esxcli software vib update --depot=http://xxxxxxxxxxx

only Problem is that i'am not able to get latest Updates out of the Update Manager as long as i remediate a Server.

i pushed download Task on Update Manager and he don't download vib's.  i deleted the whole Repository. and again pushed download.  then he create a ~8MB folder structure and no Patches.

Once i remediate a Server > he download the Vibs.

LOL wtf is that.

now i search for an Solution that i make following:

- FUlly download Patches once they are available. and not only through Remediate.  this Kind of Process should be splitted.

makes no sense.

any Hints on that?

thx

Max
