Im trying to upload "esx-DVD-4.0.0-164009.iso" on the "new baseline wizard" but i throws me an error:
Failed to login
error was: A web exception has occured during file upload
What can be wrong? I tried both from my client (PC) and vCenter server (where VUM is also located)
I found this problem to be caused by McAfee VirusScan antivirus on-access protection rules installed on the vCenter server. If you have McAfee software installed on your vCenter server check the On-Access Protection Log for items that may be getting blocked by McAfee. Once I updated the offending McAfee rules and restarted the "VMware Update Manager" and the "VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices" services I no longer had the issue.

What is your VC/VUM configuration? Copy the file locally where the VUM repository, browse it from there and try again.
You can get an error also when the iso is already used somewhere else. For example if it is mounted on a DRAC or iLO of an ESX host.
I did an update with the "Host update" utility on my ESX 3.5 hosts - so I didn't really look much into the "upload" issue.
Were you ever able to resolve this problem? I am experiencing the same issue.

No
Have you tried this?
- Stop Update Manager Service
- Go to windows task manager, make sure no java processes are running. If they are, kill
- Start update manager
Ill try that next time I run in to this issue
I ended up uninstalling Update Manager and then reinstalling it. Everything works now, as expected - thanks

I actually have McAfee on the vCenter / Update server – so that is probably the problem!
