Install VMware vCenter Update Manager

vCenter Update Manager is for environments with vCenter Server. Using vCenter Update Manager, you can
orchestrate steps of an upgrade process sequentially, based on compliance baselines at the host, virtual
machine, and datastore level.
This procedure describes how to install vCenter Update Manager as an additional module (sometimes called
a plug-in) on the same machine that hosts vCenter Server or on a remote machine.
Prerequisites
Before you install vCenter Update Manager, download the software installer and install vCenter Server 4.0 on
the local machine or on a machine that is reachable by the local machine.
vCenter Update Manager requires a supported database. The database requirements are the same as vCenter
Server, except that DB2 is not supported. You can use a supported database that is configured to work with
vCenter Update Manager, or you can install the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express database that is bundled
with vCenter Update Manager. vCenter Update Manager can use the same database as vCenter Server, but
VMware recommends that you have separate databases for vCenter Server and vCenter Update Manager.
