Update Manager Blues
As I wrapped up the migration from vSphere 4.0 to 4.1, I had one host that for the life of me wouldn’t upgrade. It kept giving me the following error:
Host cannot download files from VMware vCenter Update Manager patch store.
Check the network connectivity and firewall setup, and check esxupdate logs for details.
Check the network connectivity and firewall setup, and check esxupdate logs for details.
I can see the ESX host just fine. Nothing out of the ordinary there. The firewall ports look exactly the same as the other 6 hosts in this particular cluster. Why the hell won’t it download the updates.
