Vmware Update Mangager Question

[fish6288]

In the vCetner 4 console under "Recent Tasks" it shows "Download Patch Definitions" and status is queued. I have these from the last few days just sitting there queued and nothing happening. Is this normal or is something wrong? should these actually run and complete instead of just being queued?

The Update Manager server is on a different box then the vCenter server but they can communicate just fine and the Update Manager server does have a connection to the internet NOT using a proxy. The initial download of the patches worked fine, its just now the tasks show as Queued and i dont know why.

Also, the Update Manager is not pushing the VEM module out when adding servers to the Nexus switch..not sure if these are in anyway related but figured i would note this as well.

Thanks for any help.

Please verify that your proxy setting is correct as well if it applied to the network that the vCenter host is on.

the restart of the Virtual Center service and Update manager service seem to do the job...thanks
