vmware update manager for patches
We are installing Dell vmware Esxi iso image on dell servers to deploy Esxi hosts.
I am about to setup the update manger to get patches.
i noticed that by default it is point to to vmware site for the patch downloads.
Is it the place where it has to get patches even though we use dell iso image for installation?
Experts out there I will appreciate your help on this.

Thanks theist,
I noticed the default download has some patches for exit4.1 which we do not have .
Can i go and apply that default baseline ? or create new and select only all esxi5.1 and attach that?

It downloads meta-data of all patches in VUM repository, and then filters.
VIBs are downloaded only when it first stages particular VIB (i.e 4.1 patches will not be downloaded if you never attempt to upgrade 4.1 ESXi)

Does this means that these are not suitable for Dell ver iso installation?
What will happen if i remediate those along with other patches?
