What do all the VCSA versions correspond to?
What are the differences in the VCSA versions and patches?
I have VCSA 6.5 U1e installed.
I see there is now a
• vCenter Server 6.5 Update 1g
• vCenter Server 6.5 Update 1g Update
• VC-6.5.0U1g-Appliance patch
What version should I use to move to from U1e to U1g?
Almost looks like the Windows version a lot more stable then VCSA?
Since this is a test and dev system with no users, I was thinking of just reinstalling and going that route since I have Windows Serve 2016.

So, is the process to go from VCSA U1e to U1g, .....
apply vCenter Server 6.5 Appliance Update 1g Bundle (1.62 gb zip) followed by VC-6.5.0U1g-Appliance patch
to the VCMA 6.5 U1e version?
or
just install the Center Server 6.5 Appliance Update 1g (3.36 gb ISO)
to the VCMA 6.5 U1e version?
apply vCenter Server 6.5 Appliance Update 1g Bundle (1.62 gb zip) followed by VC-6.5.0U1g-Appliance patch
to the VCMA 6.5 U1e version?
or
just install the Center Server 6.5 Appliance Update 1g (3.36 gb ISO)
to the VCMA 6.5 U1e version?
If you already have the appliance apply patch
If you don't already have the appliance install full version
If you don't already have the appliance install full version

ok,
I have VCMA 6.5 U1e installed.
What is the difference between ...
VCMA U1g Update (VMware-vCenter-Server-App
described in the "Read More"
Use this package to update from VMware vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 to VMware vCenter Server 6.5U1g Appliance
and
VCMA U1g patch (VMware-vCenter-Server-App
Almost looks like I need to apply VCMA U1g Update followed by VCMA U1g patch
or is
VCMA U1g Update only used to go from the very first release of VCMA 6.5 (2/2/17) to the current U1g?

yes,,,,
It was the word "patch" vs "update" that is confusing.
When doing VC Windows 6.0 Updates (3, 3a, 3b, etc.), i use the ISOs from the VMware Software Portal and not the Patch Portal.
6.0 VMware Software Portal has a U3e where as the Patch Portal has up to U3c only and the U3c in the VMware Software Portal looks like a different release than waht U3c shows in the Patch Portal
I tie the word Patch to ESXi.
I mostly used Patch Portal for ESXi Patches which are ZIp files with the VIBs

ok,
thanks
Yes VUM is great, but we are on a closed network and have to use UMDS which takes time.
Since we have 2 esxi servers, i have been manually updating the esxi hosts.

Eventually vCenter Server for Windoze, will come to and end, and be phased out!
they address critical issues and security fixes, and all the information is available in the patch portal
