I have inherited maintaining an ESXi 4.1 farm with three hosts and for the most part things are going OK.
We run Tenable Security Center in our environment for threat detection/mitigation and it is reporting that the vCenter client for 4.1 is out of date on all the clients that have it installed. You can see the finding in the SecCtr screenshot that it says I should have client build 1682698.
The ESXi 4.1 hosts are running build 1363503 (Esxi screenshot), vCenter is at 925676 and the client is 1651023 (the version released 2014-04-10 see VIC info screenshot). However as you can see Security Center is saying I should have a newer version of the client and VUM says that the patches released on 2014-04-10 are Not Applicable for my hosts (VUM Info screenshot).
I have a feeling that Security Center is actually reporting a false postitive in this case but I have no concrete evidence since there are sites out there that list ESXi 4.1 build 1682698 as:
Patch 15:
http://www.virten.net/vmware/esx-release-and-build-number-history/
or Patch 11:
Can someone please help me understand why VUM has patches for 410 that are listed as not applicable?
Is there a way to force the updates to install? I've gone so far as to create a specific baseline of the patches and apply it to the hosts with no luck.
I've rebooted the hosts and rescanned and still the patches show not applicable.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Les Bowman
