So...I'm looking at patching a couple of stand-alone ESXi hosts via the command line. I know the commands I need and I've got the necessary packages. My question is: do I need to reboot the host between each patch bundle or can I apply them in sequence all at once? I've looked in the official docs and can't seem to find anything there, what I found in the forums seems to be all 3.x related.
TIA!
If you're staying on the same update/version you should be OK with a single reboot. From my experience.
Agree, I have installed multiple bundles at once. Followed with a single reboot. That's essentially what update manager is doing behind the scenes anyways.
