VMware vCenter Server 5.1 Update 1b (Build 1891313)

The last version was released las 12th June, with the bulid 1891313 for the vCenter Server 5.5 Update 1b and for the vCenter Server Appliance 5.5 Update 1b  with the build 1891314.


Remenber take care with the update secuence as show above:



If you have installed the last version before this update v5.5, you can easy update all the components trough the new iso. download it, and execute the menu, where you must update in the same way you installed it, it is, simple install  or custom install, and the best is taht you don´t need to restart your virtual machine (you services will need to be restarted during the installation)



For this example, we have the build 1750787 installed with the "Custom Install" process the first time, don´t  care if you  don´t know how it was installed, beacuse if you mix the process, you will not be able to continue the process until you  change the wizard from the other type:



Executing the ISO, you will be alert about an earlier version of vCenter componentes...in order to update all of them:


No reboots requirements , only the services needs to be restarted if you choose to close them during the update process:



The final custom component is the vCenter Server:



And volia! Finally, verify taht you have the las build 1891313
