1. I installed the vSphere client with Host Update Facility, but it displays the message "Patching this host version is not supported by vShpere Host Update Utility."
2. I went ahead anyway and put the host into maintenance mode and ran the update, the vSphere Host Update message then becomes "Failed to deploy host upgrade agent".
fyi the server is running on Dell R710, Dual CPU, 32GB Ram, win 2008 STD x64 virtual servers.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

What is the difference between the ESXi 4 and ESX 4?
Stupid question but I am assuming the upgrade will preserve all the virtual servers?
I will do the upgrade on a less critical server tomorrow.
Many thanks.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
