Procedure
1 In the Update Manager interface, click the Configuration tab, click Download Settings, and select
the VMware VAs download source.
You can deselect all other download sources.
2 Click Apply and click Download Now to download the latest updates.
3 Click the Baselines and Groups tab, select VMs/VAs, and click Create to create an update baseline
for virtual appliances.
4 Type a name and a description for this update baseline, and select VA Upgrade as the baseline type.
5 Click Add Multiple Rules and set the update rules to create the update baseline.
Option Description
Vendor Select VMware Inc.
Appliances Select vSphere Replication Appliance and vSphere Replication Server
Upgrade To Select Latest
6 Click OK, click Next, and click Finish.
The update baseline is created.
7 In the VMs and Templates view, select the vSphere Replication appliance and click the Update
Manager tab.
8 Click Attach, select the baseline that you created, and click Attach to attach the baseline to the
vSphere Replication appliance.
9 Click Scan to discover the update version available.
10 Click Remediate and follow the prompts to start the update of the vSphere Replication appliance.
You can monitor the progress of the update in the Recent Tasks panel and verify that the appliance is
updated after the task finishes.
11 Select a vSphere Replication server in the Inventory and click the Update Manager tab.
12 Click Attach, select the baseline that you created, and click Attach to attach the baseline to the
vSphere Replication server.
13 Click Remediate and follow the prompts to start the update of the vSphere Replication server.
14 Repeat Step 11 to Step 13 for all vSphere Replication servers.
What to do next
If you configured vSphere Replication to accept only certificates that are signed by a trusted certificate
authority, after an update you must reconnect the vSphere Replication appliances.
