Applying this patch affects the CIMOM server running in the service console.
Download and verify the patch bundle as follows:
1. Download patch ESX-1002963 from http://www.vmware.com/download/vi/vi3_patches.html .
2. Log in to the ESX Server service console as root.
3. Create a local depot directory.
# mkdir -p /var/updates
Note: VMware recommends that you use the updates directory.
4. Change your working directory to /var/updates .
# cd /var/updates
5. Download the tar file into the /var/updates directory.
7. Extract the compressed tar archive:
# tar -xvzf ESX-1002963.tgz
8. Change to the newly created directory, /var/updates/ESX-1002963:
# cd ESX-1002963
After you download and extract the archive, and if you are in the directory that you previously created, use the following command to install the update:
# esxupdate update
To run esxupdate from a different directory, you must specify the bundle path in the command:
# esxupdate -r file://<directory>/ESX-1002963 update
For example, if the host is called depot:
# esxupdate -r file:///depot/var/updates/ESX-1002963 update
During the update process, logs appear on the terminal. You can specify the verbosity of esxupdate logs by using the -v option as shown below.
# esxupdate -v 10 file://<directory>/ESX-1002963 update
