Hi,
I want to update a stand-alone host to ESXi 4.1 Update 3. I don't have vCenter or VUM in the environment (yet). I've downloaded the bundle "update-from-esxi4.1-4.1_update03.zip" and have the vSphere CLI installed on my workstation.
I've been using vihostupdate.pl to check the server and the applicability of the patch before I go and install it and it appears to think there is nothing applicable to install.
From what I can tell this is a cumulative update and I haven't read anywhere that I need to install Update 1 or Update 2 as a prerequisite, so why aren't these detected?
Below is the output from the various commands:
vihostupdate.pl --server servername --list --bundle update-from-esxi4.1-4.1_update03.zip
