How can I automate ESX patching using VCO?

Can someone help in getting the total workflow to automate esx patching using vco 5.0?

Greatly appreciated.

vCenter Orchestrator plug-in for vCenter Update Manager will do. It has the collection of standard workflows which will help us to do the total patching of ESX hosts.

Two workflow examples would be great.  One to show cluster remediation.  Another to show standalone host remediation; shutdown the VMs, remediation, exit maintenance mode, then power on all the VMs using the host "auto-start" configuration.
