Click New. To create a new baseline, we need to supply a name and an optional description. In this environment, there are tight controls for compliance reasons - we will specify the exact patches to install instead of dynamically matching patterns through the automatic feature - uncheck that option and click next. For this baseline, we will select the two patch bulletins that are part of the bundle we just uploaded.
Since this environment does not have Internet access, only the patches that we import to the repository appear in this list. In a lessrestrictive datacenter, this list would include all possible patch releases and could be filtered as needed by clicking the column headings. Click Next.
Now that the baseline is attached to the cluster, Update Manager will check each host to see if action is required in order for that host to be considered compliant.
Click Check Compliance. Once the compliance check is finished, Update Manager will indicate the status of each host in the cluster. In this case, all of the hosts are out of compliance and need to have the patch installed, as expected.
Before we begin, we will first check the cluster for any potential blocking issues by using the. The pre-check dialog box will show the status of individual items, such as confirming DRS is enabled.
Everything is ready for remediation, so click Done. Update Manager 6. After reviewing the actions that will be taken, click OK. Update Manager evacuates hosts one at a time and places them into maintenance mode before applying the patches. Running VMs are moved to other hosts with vMotion. Click Refresh to check the cluster status. After Update Manager is finished applying patches to all nodes in the cluster, the status will be updated to show that they are compliant with our chosen patch baseline.
VMware vSphere 6. By default, there are no baselines attached to a cluster. Since we are using precreated baselines we will proceed to attach those baselines to the host for remediation. As we already have existing baselines, we will choose the option to Attach Baseline or Baseline Group. If we needed to create a custom baseline, we can choose the option to Create and Attach Baseline. Once all baselines have been selected we will proceed to choose Attach to associate them with our ESXi host.
The next thing we need to do is Check Compliance of our host against Update Manager. Check Compliance does a check of currently installed patches, updates and upgrades installed on the ESXi host against what is within the Attached Baselines and Baseline Groups. If there are any missing patches, upgrades or updates the object will be in a Non-Compliant state.
Once the Scan is complete, we can see the status of the Compliance check. We can see that this host as 57 patches that need to be applied with 8 critical and 3 security fixes. Let's minimize the Recent tasks to proceed. A new feature in 6. This will detect and issues that may stop your remediation from completing successfully. Let's run the Pre-Check Remediation and see the results.
Our Remediation Pre-Check has passed, as we have no outstanding issues. Any errors that could impact remediation would be shown here such as DRS being disabled or attached removable media devices. Lets close the Remediation Pre-Check to proceed. We are now ready to proceed with Remediation. Lets select All baselines we wish to apply to our host.
During Remediation the Pre-Check Remediation will also run if you did not manually choose it before. We have a few options below so let's explore them, starting with seeing which updates we are installing.
VMware's answer was to deploy a 5. Also we were not happy with this answer as the new vAPP and SSO version probably would work as it would be a clean install. It would not proved that upgrading exsiting SSO to 5. We started trawling through the logs and noticed that there were errors connecting to DCs in a trusted domain we do not authenticate to any accounts etc in this trusted domain.
For the details around these fixes make sure to read the release notes. Download vCenter Server 5. There is a gotcha with the 1b vCenter ISO. When you upgrade Update Manager, the installer fails due to a missing file. This folder and file exists fine in the Update 1a ISO. This will allow the installer to continue and finish. Seems more suitable to a platform upgrade or at least a dot release. I hope those shops with large server farms have sharp admins when this one gets implemented.
Maybe the impact is smaller than I would expect. I see home labs dying all over the world. AMD introduced the instructions with their Athlon 64, Opteron and Turion 64 revision D processors in March [38][39][40] while Intel introduced the instructions with the Pentium 4 G1 stepping in December Because it may not effect anyone?
