Re: ESX4.1 using VUM for installing offline bundles
I have tried changing around the xml file to add support for ESXi, but then it won't import.
I have been escalated to second level, but haven't heard anything yet.

Re: ESX4.1 using VUM for installing offline bundles
If you go into VUM, and look at the "Patch Repository", you will see the ones that have 2 items in the "Product" section that support both.
They will say something like "embeddedEsx 4.0.0, esx 4.0.0" (as an example, the Cisco Nexus 1000V"
I attached a screenshot as an example.
This is how the NMI package 'should' also work.

Re: ESX4.1 using VUM for installing offline bundles
I guess this is why they say on both kb articles the vmhostupdate.pl command and not VUM.
HP NMI Sourcing Driver for VMware ESX/ESXi 4.1 reports as being compliant on all of my freshly built ESXi 4.1 hosts.

Re: ESX4.1 using VUM for installing offline bundles
What do I have to update after installing this package from the Software Depot:
"VMware ESXi 4.0 and Updates from HP - 4.1 -July 2010- ESXi HD-USB-SD Image Installer CD (583772-005.iso)"
on a brand new ML350-G6 (with Raid 5)?
Should I download and update both
a) "* RECOMMENDED * HP ESXi Offline Bundle for VMware ESXi 4.1 "
b) "* RECOMMENDED * HP NMI Sourcing Driver for VMware ESX/ESXi 4.1"
And how can I get the list (commands? syntax? as in the post from Allen Crawford with the rows "Id", "InstallDate" and "Description"?

Re: ESX4.1 using VUM for installing offline bundles
The NMI Sourcing Driver shows as compliant on all of my ESXi 4.1 hosts too, but if you look closely, it is likely compliant because VUM thinks it isn't applicable and never installed it. For example, click on a host in question, then click the "Update Manager" tab. Then in the bottom pane you should see the name of your host and a count of how many "Upgrades" or "Extensions" have been remediated. Click this little blue number and it'll pop open a new window with more details. In my case I set up NMI as an extension, so I clicked on that and it then shows that my HP ESXi Bundle 1.0's (CIM providers) compliance is "Installed." However, the compliance column for the HP NMI driver says "-- Not Applicable." Anyway, I suspect yours will be similar.
@HahPehUser:
I'm guessing that you already have the correct CIM providers (ESXi offline bundle as HP calls it) with that CD you referenced, but I'm not sure about the NMI driver. I don't use HP's media, so I have to install both. In either case, you should be able to check easily enough with one of the following two methods:
1) Use the following PowerCLI (PowerShell Toolkit) command:
Get-VMHostPatch -VMHost
2) Use the following command from the vMA virtual appliance that VMware provides:
vihostupdate --server
Both commands should give you the same info.

Re: ESX4.1 using VUM for installing offline bundles
Most import for me is an fully unattended install. To achieve this I'm using the HP ESXi DVD. Both bundles are integrated and it works like a charm. Software can be found here:
