@MMTC @tserreyn  Have a look at my topic regarding the issue.  https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-vSphere-Discussions/Updates-host-patches-do-not-install/td-p/2860502 You can install the patch that is the latest version manually and then you are fine. Or as @Doubletap wrote it should be possible to install that patch/ that patches creating a single patch baseline for that patch and apply that baseline to the hosts. Nevertheless I would have expected the patches autoinstalled by the vcsa.
Update 2b was a total failure it seems. It even was deleted in the list of Build numbers and versions of VMware ESXi. https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2143832?lang=en_US
@a_p_  Yes. That is what I know. WSFC RDMs should be flagged perennially reserved all other RDMs not. But I am not shure about it.
Hi there Syncing HCL via Lifecycle Manager gives me an absolutely useless error:   What could be the problem? Where to check? Updates are synching fine. Regards  
Hello Should I set all RDMs in a cluster to perennially reserved or only the WSFC RDMs? We always flagged only the WSFC RDMs. https://blogs.vmware.com/virtualblocks/2020/07/31/using-perennially-re... See more...

@pkvmw  Nice. Thanks. Now let us see if the fix does really fix it. @Srijithk  Thanks for sharing the download links.
@pkvmw let us hope the release date will not be too far in the future and let us hope the patch will at last fix that defect.
I did not try that.  But I will give it a shot next time I am facing that issue.
Everytime I asked that question to VMware support the support gave another date. Starting with mid June 21, then mid Juli 21 and now the latest answer was mid August 21. 
Why CLI? Install RVTools. Connect to your vCenter. Go to tab vTools. Et voilà! All required information ready for export as .csv or .xls.

Okay. Here is my solution. First of all VMware has no solution for the problem yet. It will be fixed in a later release as the support wrote. Which one they could not tell. We did it the following way: I downloaded the latest version of the missing patch/vib to a shared datastore that is available to all the affected hosts. Then I logged on via SSH to the affected hosts and installed it manually. I had to install only the one that is the latest version then all others were gone too. The line to enter in my case: esxcli software vib update -v /vmfs/volumes/yourshareddatastore/intel-nvme-vmd-en_2.6.1.1001-1OEM.700.1.0.15843807_17797370/vib20/intel-nvme-vmd/INT_bootbank_intel-nvme-vmd_2.6.1.1001-1OEM.700.1.0.15843807.vib Reference for the step by step guide is: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2008939
