Hi, I have a 5.5 host with 3 VMs (2 production servers and 1 vcenter server). Now all documentation I see to update the host from the update manager in vcenter is pretty straight forward. The thing I don't understand is before you can remediate, the esx host needs to be in maintenance mode, which means no VMs up, including the vcenter server which is the only way you can right click on host and choose remediate. Now how can I remediate if the server is in maintenance mode and my vcenter server is down?
I have vsphere client installed on my laptop, version 5.5 but from it, I don't have the option to remediate. How can I upate my esxi 5.5 host?
Thanks
