Hi Mr,

To give you some relief, vSphere 5.1 is not affected by the Heartbleed. But anyways it is always a good practice to keep systems patched and upgraded.

Se the KB below where it will tell you what is affected and what is not.

Yes that is correct.

To answer your initial question. Since I'm working with multiple vSphere versions (and patch levels), I always keep the different vSphere Client versions updated to the latest and never had issues accessing either vCenter Server or hosts which are using the same version (patched or unpatched).

thanks andre,

in other words there would be no problem if I jut upgrade vsphere client to 5.1 u2 and not upgrading vcenter server to 5.1 u2.

Currently my VC server is 5.1 u1a.

Plz correct me if I am wrong.
