Dear VMware Customers,
We have released the express patches for the product expiration issue. Please go to http://app.connect.vmware.com/e/er.aspx?s=524&lid=3173&elq=5F0D115F069A45049F3C733B40898FEB for download and KB articles. Since our last customer email we have completed our verification tests that the express patches we’ve released are fully compatible with the VMware Update Manager. Please see the KB articles for deployment information regarding Update Manager.
The KB articles are kept up-to-date. Please refer to the KB articles for information and updates.
In our last update, we referred to an initiative by our support and engineering teams to find an option to apply the patch without the necessity of entering maintenance mode and VMotion of VM’s to other servers, or VM power-off and re-power-on. Our earlier tests have not found a consistently successful way to address this. We continue to investigate this possibility, as we know that it would reduce the maintenance burden on our customers who may not have a patched server available for VMotion.
We are on target to release updated versions of the ESX/ESXi 3.5 Update 2 patch at 6 PM PST today. This is for customers who have not already upgraded to the previously released version of ESX/ESXi 3.5 Update 2
Thank you,
The VMware ESX Product Team
...At least they are working on this as fast as they can and are releasing regular status updates.
Regards
The Outspoken Wookie
