This solution works and the vCenter Server can now hapily download updates from the update site to the Update Manager using SSL.

Hello Everyone,<br />
<br />
I was wondering if anyone has come accross this issue; I have just upgraded to vSphere 5.0 and all is well except for the Update Manager Plug-in.<br />
<br />
Running version &nbsp;<a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2011/10_w41/508851/Update-Manager-Screenshot.JPG" target="_blank" title="Screen Shot from Update Manager 5 (49 KB)"><img alt="Screen Shot from Update Manager 5" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 720px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2011/10_w41/508851/Update-Manager-Screenshot.JPG" /></a><br />
As you can see from the Screen shot attached the 'Connectivity Status' of the first 3 update sites is 'Not Connected', but the fourth which incidentally connects via <a href="http://" rel="ugc nofollow">http://</a>&nbsp;and not <a href="https://" rel="ugc nofollow">https://</a>&nbsp;is connected.<br />
<br />
The update sites previously worked without any issue on Update Manager 4.1 using the same addresses which is why I am so perplexed.<br />
<br />
There have been no firewall changes internally or externally facing, and this should just work. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Any ideas from anyone, gratefully received.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

vSphere 5 Update Manager wont connect to update site after upgrade to 5.0.

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.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
