Symptom

In VMware Update Manager:

  • When you scan an ESX 4.x host that is not added to Cisco Nexus 1000V DVS, the compliance status of the baseline is Non-Compliant (red), if the baseline definition includes one of the following patches:
    • ESX400-200907401-BG
    • ESXi400-200907401-BG
    • ESXi400-200906401-BG
    • ESXi400-200909401-BG
    • ESX400-200909401-BG
    • ESXi400-200911201-UG
    • ESX400-200911201-UG
    • ESXi400-Update01
    • ESX400-Update01
  • In the patch details section of vCenter Update Manager, the patch is marked with a status Conflict (yellow). The following message appears:
    The selected Update conflicts with following Updates in VMware vCenter Update Manager patch repository: <patch_name>.
    These patch repository conflicts will NOT affect stage and remediation unless the conflicting Updates are contained in the baseline(s) <baseline_name>.
    Here <patch_name> and <baseline_name> are the names of patches and baselines. In this scenario, the names of patches follow the format VEM400-2009XXXXX-BG.
  • When you scan an ESX 4.x host that is not added to Cisco Nexus 1000V DVS, the compliance status of the baseline is Incompatible (yellow), if the baseline definition includes one of the following patches:
    • ESX400-200907401-BG
    • ESXi400-200907401-BG
    • ESXi400-200906401-BG

    • ESXi400-Update01
    • ESX400-Update01
  • In the patch details section of vCenter Update Manager, the following message appears:
    The Software Update conflicts with following updates in VMware vCenter Update Manager patch depot: <patch_name>.
    Here <patch_name> is the name of the patch or patches. Patch names follow the format VEM400-2009XXXXX-BG. This message indicates that the preceding patches conflict with another patch in the patch repository of vCenter Update Manager. (This message does not indicate a conflict with other patches installed on the host.)
