Installing vSphere Update Manager on Windows

VUM in its legacy state had been only available as a Windows-based installation and this has carried on with vSphere 6.5 while adding an integrated version with the vCenter Server Appliance. We shall walk through a simple installation procedure in this recipe.

Getting ready

VUM is a 64-bit application and requires a 64-bit OS on which it needs to be installed. VUM is packaged into the vCenter installation file. Download the vCenter installation binary onto the virtual machine/physical machine intended to host the VUM server instance. In addition, ensure that the minimum system requirements are met.

Also, note that a Windows-based installation of VUM cannot be integrated or used with the vCenter Server Appliance. Hence you would require the Windows-based vCenter server credentials to integrate with VUM during the installation process.
