VIMPATCH package provides an autorun with Patch All button.

  1. Mount the VMware-VIMPatch-6.0.0-8814879-20180726.iso to the system where the vCenter Server component is installed.
  2. Double-click ISO_mount_directory/autorun.exe

vCenter Server Java Components Update wizard opens.

  1. Click Patch All.

When you double-click Patch All, patches are applied to the existing products by launching the corresponding Windows installer packages. Autorun displays the patch results at the end.

Notes:

  • During the patch process, the Management Software undergoes a downtime as the patch restarts the services.
  • vSphere Update Manager activities like Remediation of Hosts etc., are not supported while patching vSphere Update Manager.
  • Systems where all vCenter Server components exist on a single system (Simple Install system), VIMPATCH can be applied only once to update all components. On a distributed system, you need to patch the components on each system individually.
