VUM: Metadata for patch missing
March 13th, 2008
Filed under: Bugs, Howto, VMware
Today I received the following error at a customer site when applying patch via the Update Manager:”Metadata for patch missing.” After a close inspection I noticed VirtualCenter wasn’t running on port 80 but on 81 for some reason. Opening up the ESX Firewall and restarting the VMware Update Manager service seems to fix this problem. The firewall was opened up as follows
esxcfg-firewall –openport 81,tcp,out,updatemanager
