VCenter 5.5 U2 service pack download?

[GTPerry]

According to the Vsphere 5.5 U2 documentation:

Updating vCenter Server with Service Packs

VMware provides service packs to update the vCenter Server 5.x software and third-party components.

vCenter Server service pack releases can include updates to vCenter Server, Inventory Service, vCenter Single Sign On, and Profile-Driven Storage Service.

vCenter Server 5.x service packs will be available from the VMware Web site. The service pack update process updates files and registry settings required by vCenter Server, and restart Windows services that are stopped during the update.

Is this done with Update Manager, or is there a download from the  VMware website?

I just need to upgrade my Vcenter 5.5.0 (1750787) to the latest release, and am looking for the easiest way to do this without doing a full re-install of the Vcenter 5.5 U2 .iso download.

I cannot find any service pack download for this on Vmware's website.

Thanks.

You can found ESXi/vCenter patches here: Download</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;…

But I will recommend you mount the latest release full ISO and make the upgrade... you don't need reinstall... the installer will detect the previous version installed and upgrade to the new version.

Thanks!  I didn't know that it would detect and upgrade only.  The Link you posted though, doesn't work..  I guess it's unique to your session.
