Install UMDS and the Update Manager Utility
When you install UMDS, the Update Manager Utility is silently installed on your system as an additional
component.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the machine on which you install UMDS has Internet access, so that UMDS can download
upgrades, patch metadata and patch binaries.
n
Uninstall UMDS 1.0.x, UMDX 4.x or UMDS 5.x if it is installed on the machine. If such a version of
UMDS is already installed, the installation wizard displays an error message and the installation cannot
proceed.
n
Create a database instance and configure it before you install UMDS. When you install UMDS on a 64-
bit machine, you must configure a 32-bit DSN and test it from ODBC. The database privileges and
preparation steps are the same as the ones used for Update Manager. For more information, see
Installing and Administering VMware vSphere Update Manager.
n
UMDS and Update Manager must be installed on different machines.
Procedure
1 In the software installer directory, double-click the autorun.exe file and select vSphere Update
Manager > Download Service.
If you cannot run autorun.exe, browse to the umds folder and run VMware-UMDS.exe.
2 (Optional) Select the option to Use Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express as the embedded database, and
click Install.
NOTE Skip this step only if you plan to use another supported Oracle or SQL Server database.
If the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express is not present on your system from previous Update Manager
installations, the installation wizard for the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express opens.
3 Click Install.
4 Select the language for the installation and click OK.
