This patch fixes the following issues:
Power On / Off Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps are generated for virtual machines during VMotion.
Unable to install VMware Tools on virtual machines via Web Access because VMware Tools state shows as not running rather than not installed.
Unable to unregister powered-off virtual machines from the ESX Server host when in maintenance mode.
Some ESX Host Agent patches for ESX Server 3.0.x hosts might overwrite configuration changes made by VirtualCenter 2.5, which causes the ESX Server host to go into a not responding state. This patch provides a fix to the workaround in KB 1004137 .
ESX Server 3.0.x hosts in a VirtualCenter 2.5 environment might stop responding after applying hostd patches.
Download and verify the patch bundle as follows:
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
7. Extract the compressed tar archive:
# tar -xvzf ESX-1004211.tgz
8. Change to the newly created directory, /var/updates/ESX-1004211:
# cd ESX-1004211
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-1004211 update
For example, if the host is called depot:
# esxupdate -r file:///depot/var/updates/ESX-1004211 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-1004211 update
For more information how to use esxupdate, see the Patch Management for ESX Server 3 tech note at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx3_esxupdate.pdf .
