Hello

I'm following manaul to setup UM, the manaul descripted the following:

Connect the vSphere Client to a vCenter Server system with which Update Manager is registered, and click

Update Manager under Solutions and Applications on the Home page.

I can't see Update Manager on the Home page.

Thanks !

After installing the Update Manager on your Virtual Center Server, you have to install the plug-in on the PC running the Client.

Connect to the Virtual Center Server, select Plugins --> Managed Plugins... and then "Download and Install.." on the "Available" tab.

After the Plugin is installed select the "Installed" tab and enable the plugin.

BTW it seems you posted a lot of question lately and never marked any of them as answered.

You should really consider this, as it helps others to find a solution to related issues.
