Hi Experts,
As a newbie to Virtualization, I am running vCenter 5.1 with ESXi 5.1 hosts. When I click on Patch Repository tab, I see patches related to ESXi 4.0 and 4.1 well. Why the patches are still visible in Patch Repository tab.
Is there any way to remove the old patches from Patch Repository?
As per the VMware KB: VMware KB: Correlating vCenter Server and ESXi/ESX host build numbers to update levels
Another question is: Currently I am on ESXi 5.1 patch 1 with build 914609 and if I directly upgrade to ESXi 5.1 Update 2 with build 1483097 then what about ESXi 5.1 patch 2 and ESXi 5.1 patch 3? I wanted to understand the difference between ESXi 5.1 patch and ESXi 5.1 update?
Please help me to understand!!
