This guide will cover the installation of VMware Update Manager 6.5 on Windows Server 2016.
#VMWARE VSPHERE 6.5 INSTALL INSTALL#
Update Manager can be used to upgrade and patch ESXi hosts, install and update third-party software on hosts, upgrade virtual machine hardware, VMware Tools, and virtual appliances. VMware Update Manager provides centralised patch and version management for ESXi hosts, virtual machines, and virtual appliances. Finally, the Windows vCenter Server is now depreciated and not available with vSphere 7.0. For more information see the VMware Upgrade Matrix. Upgrade to vSphere 7 can be achieved directly from vSphere 6.5.0 and above, whereas vSphere 6.0 requires an intermediate upgrade to 6.5 or 6.7 first. VMware vSphere 6.5 is scheduled to reach end of general support 15 October 2022, referenced in the VMware Lifecycle Matrix.
