Hi,
ok so I'm still having problems with dynamic updating ESX 3.5but i prefer to make a brand new post instead of jumping in other "metadata is missing" posts.
I will post some more information as my investigation process will... proceed.
I have 2 ESX 3.5 here + an other physical server for VC 2.5.
The 3 server are already on production status.
Update manager is installed directly on VC server. As we have a process for patching VM with SMS, VUM will work only for host updates.
I followed admin guide to install UMDS on a PC that has direct connect to the internet. It's working fine, i can download fixes from jan 2008 until now.fixes are stored directly G:\vmware\hostupdate where G is my USBkey.
My main problem now is that i can't export files using vmware-updateDownloadCli.exe In my Repository. any ideas ?
see it there :
-
C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Update Manager>vmware-updatedownloadcli.e
xe -p Y:\Patches-ESX3.5 -f esx -v localhost -U ptcs07741_adm
