After upgrading to ESX 4.0 Update 4, when you connect an older version of vSphere Client to an ESX 4.0 Update 4 host, you are prompted to upgrade vSphere Client to vSphere Client 4.0 Update 4.
The vSphere Client upgrade is mandatory. You must use only the upgraded vSphere Client to access vSphere 4.0 Update 4.

None beyond the required patch bundles and reboot information listed in the table above.

See the VMware vCenter Update Manager Administration Guide for instructions on using Update Manager to download and install patches to automatically update ESX 4.0 hosts.

To update ESX 4.0 hosts when not using Update Manager, download the patch zip file from http://support.vmware.com/selfsupport/download/ and install the bulletin using esxupdate from the command line of the host. For more information, see the ESX 4 Patch Management Guide.
