problem with esxupdate

[AnwarBenfredj]

Hello All,

Freinds, I have a problem with the update of esx host from esx 4.1 to 4.1 update3, when I running the commande

esxupdate --bundle /tmp/update-from-esx4.1-4.1_update03.zip update

I get the following errors :

# esxupdate --bundle update-from-esx4.1-4.1_update03.zip update

Host was not updated, no changes required.

Skipping bulletin ESX410-201208201-UG; it is installed or obsoleted.

Host was not updated, no changes required.

Skipping bulletin ESX410-201208101-SG; it is installed or obsoleted.

What is the result when you issue these commands:

# vmware -v

# esxupdate query

#  vmware -v

VMware ESXi 4.1.0 build-260247

# esxupdate query

no result for esxupdate query

I think you will need to use the vihostupdate tool through vSphere CLI .... Normally it should work through update manager, but perhaps there's an issue uploading the files.

Try this blog to get you on your way http://virtualizationreview.com/articles/2011/02/14/how-to-upgrade-vsphere-41-update-1.aspx

Make sure you have the correct update/upgrade files (ESX vs ESXi).
