Apply ESXi6.7 patches using VUM and baseline

[Tony_Rosas]

Currently running this version:

ESXi 6.7 P01

ESXi670-201912001

12/05/2019

15160138

vCenter Appliance 6.7 Update 3l (6.7.0.46000)

2020-11-19

17138064

17137327

4 hosts running HPE image

I created a baseline with the following criteria:

Vendor: Any

Product: EmbeddedEsX 6.7.0 & esx 6.7.0

Severity: Any

Category: Any

No Date filter

Attached the baseline to a host and clicked 'Check Compliance'.

Selected Baseline to view patches listed.

Applied 'Status' filter for 'Missing' patches.

Total Missing patches are 49.

The list of missing patches includes Complete Update 2 and Complete Update 3.

Questions:

1. Is it safe to just apply the entire batch of 49 at once (stage & remediate)? Pre-check remediation does not show any issues and shows 'Ready to remediate'.
2. Why are the Complete Update 2 and Complete Update 3 listed if I'm already above those patch versions? (attached report showing missing patches)
3. Any other tips to patching ESXi that is this far behind on HP hosts?

Hi,

I guess, there is no problem.

[Tony_Rosas]

The questions being asked are in the lower part, i think you may have missed them.

Are you saying there is no problem applying all updates?

[DavoudTeimouri]

Remove the baseline and attach latest HPE Customized Image as baseline.

Then check the results.

Thank you, I will research this method.
