Installing vsphere Update Manager and Considerations

VMware has introduced an Update Manager tool to facilitate patching of its products, and must have a SQL database server (or you can choose to use an embedded database when installing Update Manager) to install the update Manager program server and administration client side, the following is an example of using the SQL R2 database on Windows Server R2, which describes the installation steps and considerations for the tool in detail.

1. Create a database on the SQL Server, with Vum as an example

2. Insert the SQL2008R2 disc on the server where you want to install the Update Manager program, install the Client Connection tool

3. Locate the ODBC data source when the installation is complete

4. Select the 32-bit local client

5. Create a data source named Vum, and the data source name is consistent with the following

6. Modify the default database for the newly created Vum database

7. Test the data source connection

8. Exit SQL and place the vcenter installation disk, Update Manager setup on the vcenter installation disk

650) this.width=650; "src=" http://s2.51cto.com/wyfs02/M01/7F/7D/wKioL1cgid2hPrxLAALaVLf6Mok478.jpg "title=" 7.jpg " Style= "Float:none;" alt= "wkiol1cgid2hprxlaalavlf6mok478.jpg"/>

9. Enter the vcenter address and account password

10. Enter the name of the created data source, but at this point you will find an error, although using a 32-bit ODBC data source

11. The reason is that the ODBC data source path in the management tool is under System32

12. But 64-bit operating systems require the use of 32-bit ODBC data sources under SYSWOW64

650) this.width=650; "src=" http://s1.51cto.com/wyfs02/M01/7F/7F/wKiom1cgiRzwYQVBAAQou0oCeS0167.jpg "title=" 11.jpg "Style=" Float:none; "alt=" wkiom1cgirzwyqvbaaqou0oces0167.jpg "/>

13. Re-use the 32-bit ODBC under SYSWOW64 to create the DSN and proceed normally

14. After the installation is complete, go to install the Vsphere client terminal to open the management plugin

15. Can find update Manager in available Chajian, select download and install

16. After installation, you will find that there is no update manager under the Web Client interface

650) this.width=650; "src=" http://s2.51cto.com/wyfs02/M01/7F/7D/wKioL1cgie6C43eZAAIYDROQGUs997.jpg "title=" 15.jpg "Style=" Float:none; "alt=" wkiol1cgie6c43ezaaiydroqgus997.jpg "/>

17.update Manager can only be managed via vsphere client side

18. The reason is that when you select download and install in step 15th, he actually installs the update Manager to the client's directory
