Update manager tab doesnt appear

Hi all,

I´d made a new installation of vsphere 4.0 update 1, over 2 hosts,

I´d installed the update manager plugin. At first time, the update manager tab takes a long time to appear so i´ve decided to install vcenter 4.0 update 2 and upgrade Update manager. I´d get the update manager working ok,but some days after the tab doesnt appear at any time.The plugin is enabled.

I don´t know what is happening. i´have restarted the services but it continue disappeared.

Virtualcenter is a virtual machine with 2 vcpus and 4GB. the database is on a remote server with SQL server 2008.

The update manager plugin is 4.0.0.5332

I haven´t found any post that could help me. Anybody knows what could be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Was Update Manager perhaps downloading the meta-data and patches during that time.

If you have a slow Internet connection this can take some time.

You should be able to the task in the Tasks & Events tab.

No download task was in execution at this time. In the events tab there is nothing.

This morning when i have access the vcenter client, the update manager tab haven´t appeared again.
