Update Manager Import says succesfull but doesnt import.

Hello,

I just loaded a new VirtualCenter w/ update manager. Have a DVD with 5.2 GB of exported patches. I copied the patches to the local HDD of the VC, and proceeded to import like I usually do. But this time it runs throught the process in 1 second and says successfull, when infact nothing is imported.

C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Update Manager>vmware-updateDownloadCli.e

xe --update-path "c:\vmware-import" --config-import esx --vc-user virtadmin

Please type in password for user :

This have never happened to me all the times I have done this. And not really sure what to do. Any suggestions?

Nevermind,

I have figured it out. I guess you cannot import patches to VC unless there is a Datacenter/host added.
