To my understand there are 3 ways to update ESX/ESXi host.
- VMware Update Manager
- VMware Host update Utility
- vihostupdate
VUM - update host, vm, vApps and templates (this one I am sure)
VMware host update utility - only update the host?
vihostupdate - can do the same as VUM and the only difference is that it is a command line interface?
Is there a VMware document that I can read up on this. I am asking this because I am preparing for VCP 4 exam. In the place I work, we are using vSphere 5 and we never have to upgrade from 3.x to vSphere 4.
Thanks for the pointers and have a nice day,
anthony.
