== Installation == | |||
VMware Update Manager (VUM) can be installed either on a separate server, or on the same machine as [[:Category:vCentre|vCentre]]. | |||
You need to have a SQL database available (as for vCentre, this can be an external database or MS SQL Express). | |||
You also need enough storage to keep local copies of all updates that will available for install to clients (especially when your [[Acronyms#V|VUM]] server is a VM, it can be useful to keep the patches on separate disk, so that's its easier to alter its size without affecting other data). | |||
# Start the installer | |||
# Accept [[Acronyms#E|EULA]], and then click '''Next''' | |||
# Enter the local admin user/pass credentials for the server vCentre is running on, and then click '''Next''' | |||
# Setup a database to use, and then click '''Next''' | |||
#* Use MS SQL 2005 Express option for small scale or non-production deployments only | |||
#* Select an existing [[Acronyms#D|DSN]] (to set-up a new DSN, see [[Virtual_Centre#Create DSN|Create DSN]]) | |||
# Enter the appropriate authentication information, and then click '''Next''' | |||
# Accept the default TCP ports (its recommended that you don't share the server with other services which, for example) might necessitate changing the Update Manager ports). Tick the box if you need to configure a proxy, and then click '''Next''' | |||
# Change the ''..location for downloading patches'' if you want you downloaded updates to stored on a separate disk, and click '''Next''' | |||
# Click '''Install''' | |||
Once installed Update Manager will download patches and updates for hosts and VMs connected to the vCentre. To manage Update Manager... | |||
# With a '''VI Client''' connected to vCentre, go to '''Plug-ins | Manage Plug-ins...''' | |||
# For the ''...Update Manager Extension'', click on '''Download and Install...''' | |||
# Click on '''Next''' | |||
# Accept EULA, and then click '''Next''' | |||
# Click '''Install''' | |||
# Click '''Finish''' | |||
== Upgrade == | |||
Upgrade [[Virtual_Centre#Upgrade|vCentre]] ''before'' Update Manager! The database should be backed up prior to starting work. | |||
# Start the installer | |||
# The installer will detect that its an upgrade and ask for confirmation to continue, click '''Yes''' | |||
# Once the wizard starts, click '''Next''' | |||
# Accept EULA, and then click '''Next''' | |||
# Enter the local admin user/pass credentials for the server vCentre is running on, and then click '''Next''' | |||
# Enter the appropriate database authentication information (if required), and then click '''Next''' | |||
# Leave on the default ''Yes, I want to upgrade...'', and tick to confirm you've taken a backup, then click '''Next''' | |||
# Click '''Install''' | |||
# Click '''Finish''' | |||
