06/16/2008 ESX patches not appearing in Update Manager?

[jparnell]

Hi,

I'm currently rebuilding one of our ESX 3.5 servers, I obviously want to install it with all of the latest updates, but the 06/16/2008 patches arent in Update Manager yet - anyone else having this problem?

Thanks

DId you reschedule the update to download again?

[jparnell]

I've manually run the download scheduled task, and its also run for a

couple of nights now, but its not picking up the new updates for some

reason.

try restarting the Update Manager Service....

Yes - still not showing the latest updates released. Are they showing in

your update manager? Im just wondering if VMware havent updated the

website that update manager connects to?

[garybrown]

Yes, we have three VC servers and all have eventually downloaded the patches. Had to restart Update Manager Service on two of them though and once restarted and kicked off a download the patches came straight down - thus my suggestion. Sorry it didn't work for you...!

I had a problem with my proxy and downloads taking a long time, as well as the download task itself.

I deleted the task, and then went into plugin manager, and re-scheduled it and ran it.

Also, I went into the vci-integrity.xml file and changed the recvTimeout from 60 seconds (60000) to ten minutes (600000), and then my downloads were successful. I found that virus scan made it real slow and patches didn't download correctly.

It's finally picked up the new updates.

We didn't change anything - I tried restarting the virtualcentre service

and update manager service a couple of times last week, but that didn't

work. Then, over the weekend, the new patches were automatically picked

up.

Thanks for all your suggestions.
