For the convenience of patching its products, vmware has launched a update manager tool. To use this tool, you must have a SQL database server (or you can choose to use an embedded database when installing update manager), install a update manager program server and manage the client. The following is an example of using sql 2008 R2 database on windows server 2008 R2, which describes in detail the installation steps and points for attention of the tool.

1. Create a database on the SQL server, taking vum as an example

two。 Insert the sql2008r2 CD on the server where you want to install the update manager program and install the client connection tool

3. Locate the ODBC data source after installation is complete

4. Select 32-bit local client

5. Create a data source named vum with the same name as the following

6. Change the default database to the newly created vum database

7. Test data source connection

8. Exit sql and put in the vcenter installation disk. The update manager installer is on the vcenter installation disk.

9. Enter vcenter address and account password

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

11. The reason is that the ODBC data source path in the management tool is under system32.

twelve。 But 64-bit operating systems need to use 32-bit ODBC data sources under syswow64

13. After you re-use the 32-bit ODBC under syswow64 to create DSN, you can continue to operate normally.

14. After the installation is complete, go to install the vsphere client terminal and open the management plug-in

15. You can find update manager in the available search and build, and choose to download and install.

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

17.update manager can only be managed through the vsphere client side

18. The reason is that when he chose to download and install it in step 15, he actually installed update manager into the directory on the client side.
