I am trying to patch a new installation of ESX 3.0.1 (32039) server for the first time. I tried the first ESX-2158032 patch and got the following:
\[root@esxvm2 updates]# md5sum ESX-2158032.tgz

I do not understand if it was successsfull? ( I would say No) I restarted the server, run 'esxupdate -l query grep ESX- wc -l ' command and I do not see this patch in the list of installed software bundles. I see there the first original product only. Could you please help me to figure out what is wrong?
Thank you very much!
