Hi,

Navigate to the expanded patch location and try....

esxupdate -v 20 -n -f update[/b]

Michael.

Also which patch is causing the problem and have you applied them in release date order ??

Hi,

Check status by issuing

esxupdate -l query[/b]

Check for any messages indicating that a rpm or patch needs to be reinstalled.

You could reapply all the patches with a -f force.
