Manually Initiate a Scan of ESXi Hosts
Before remediation, you should scan the vSphere objects against the aached baselines and baseline groups.
To run a scan of hosts in the vSphere inventory immediately, initiate a scan manually.
Procedure
1 Connect the vSphere Client to a vCenter Server system with which Update Manager is registered and
select Home > Inventory > Hosts and Clusters in the navigation bar.
2 Right-click a host, data center, or any container object and select Scan for Updates.
3 Select the types of updates to scan for.
You can scan for either Patches and Extensions or Upgrades.
4 Click Scan.
The selected inventory object and all child objects are scanned against all patches, extensions, and upgrades
in the aached baselines. The larger the virtual infrastructure and the higher up in the object hierarchy that
you initiate the scan, the longer the scan takes.
View Compliance Information for vSphere Objects
You can review compliance information for the virtual machines, virtual appliances, and hosts against
baselines and baseline groups that you aach.
When you select a container object, you view the overall compliance status of the aached baselines, as well
as all the individual compliance statuses. If you select an individual baseline aached to the container object,
you see the compliance status of the baseline.
If you select an individual virtual machine, appliance, or host, you see the overall compliance status of the
selected object against all aached baselines and the number of updates. If you further select an individual
baseline aached to this object, you see the number of updates grouped by the compliance status for that
baseline.
