With update manager, i got update 1 of ESX 4.0 on Nov 19th 2009.
Therefore, I gonna update the host.
However, during updating, I got the error msg showing that "the vmware vcenter update manager had an unknown failure." in the task&events.
who can tell me what shall i do?
"
VMware Tools Upgrade Remediation Might Fail with a Misleading Event Error Message
When you try to upgrade VMware Tools on a virtual machine with no
installed VMware Tools, the remediation fails with a misleading error
message:
VMware vCenter Update Manager had an unknown failure. Check Tasks and Events tab and logs for more details.
Update Manager does not support VMware Tools upgrade for virtual machines on which VMware Tools is not installed."

i don't agree with your idea.
Before updating the host, i have already remove all the guest system from A host to another host. Therefore, there is not any guest on the A host.
Then i am busy with updating the host.
At last i got the problem i described above.
