I'm looking for thoughts on a little task I have got.
We have a customer who has come to us with a standalone ESXi 5.5 host which is way out of date with patches.
Whats the best way to get this fully patched?
I know with a standalone you need to download all of the patches upload them to a datastore and then cli them to install.
Can you download all of the missing patches and install them one after another without reboots between or can you literally install all patches and reboot after they have all installed?
Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Pete
