The Remediate Wizard is similar to the process discussed in the section “Remediating
Hosts” (Figure 4.25 through Figure 4.29), but there are enough differences to warrant reviewing
the process.
Perform the following steps to upgrade an ESX/ESXi host with a VUM host upgrade baseline:
1.
Launch the vSphere Client if it is not already running, and connect to a vCenter Server
instance.
2.
Switch to the Hosts And Clusters view by using the navigation bar, by using the
Ctrl+Shift+H keyboard shortcut, or by selecting View
➢
➢
Inventory
Hosts And Clusters.
3.
Select the ESX/ESXi host from the inventory tree on the left.
4.
From the contents pane on the right, select the Update Manager tab. You might need to
scroll through the available tabs to see the Update Manager tab.
5.
In the lower-right corner of the window, click the Remediate button. You can also right-
click the ESX/ESXi host and select Remediate from the context menu.
6.
The Remediate dialog box opens (Figure 4.35). From here, ensure that the Upgrade
Baselines radio button is selected in the Baseline Groups And Types frame, then choose
the baseline that you want to apply. Click Next.
7.
Select the check box to accept the license terms, and then click Next.
8.
If you are upgrading the hosts from vSphere 4, the next screen gives you the option to
explicitly ignore any third-party software on the host that might prevent a host upgrade,
as shown in Figure 4.36. Either select the check box or leave it unchecked and click Next.
