Solution

Summaries and Symptoms

This patch fixes a problem with sorting by memory size (MEMSZ) in the memory screen of esxtop.

Deployment Considerations

ESX350-200808411-BG requires the installation of ESX 3.5 U2 refresh bundle ESX350-200808201-UG, irrespective of whether the ESX 3.5 U2 hot fix bundle ESX350-200806812-BG is currently installed or not. Make sure that ESX 3.5 U2 refresh bundle ESX350-200808201-UG is available in the local depot before installation.

If you are using esxupdate , you must install 2nd-level dependencies before installing this patch. For details, see Patch Installation Using esxupdate Fails Because 2nd-Level Dependency Is Not Installed (KB 1007060).

Patch Download and Installation
