Yes that was it. &nbsp;My hosts do not have the recalled patch installed, so this doesn't affect me.<br />
Thanks to both experts who took the time to answer.

I'm experiencing the same thing VSI-O, and the recalled patch does not apply to me. &nbsp;How do I clear it the warning in Update Manager?

Small business with a small vSphere 5.5 &quot;datacenter&quot; consisting of one HA cluster of two hosts.<br />

In vSphere client or Web client, I have an angry red exclamation saying &quot;VMware critical notification&quot;. &nbsp;I can acknowledge it or I can clear it, but what I can't do is figure out what the heck they are talking about.<br />
<br />
Incredibly, searching on the phrase verbatim (in quotes) got me ZERO hits in Google. Quite mysterious. &nbsp;What's my normal, best-practices place to look for info on this?<br />

Small business with a small vSphere 5.5 "datacenter" consisting of one HA cluster of two hosts.

In vSphere client or Web client, I have an angry red exclamation saying "VMware critical notification".  I can acknowledge it or I can clear it, but what I can't do is figure out what the heck they are talking about.

What does &quot;VMware critical notification&quot; mean?

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.
