Install the following pre-requisite components for Linux: The next step is to prepare the VM for UMDS and then install it. I tested a multi-homed configuration with an external and internal connection which worked fine. Ideally, this should be provided with a static IP address for ease of use.

For this deployment, Ubuntu 14.04 was used. The first step is to prepare a Linux server. The guidance in this article is a combination of VMware’s documentation, guidance from noted VMware blogger William Lam and my own testing. Previous releases only supported Windows, however, we can now deploy a Linux derivative, permitting a more solid appliance to be constructed. It can be used as a host for updates itself, or it can be configured to publish the updates on an upstream web server.

VMware Update Manager Download Service is a software solution that provides the means to place an intervening server between Update Manager (or multiple Update Manager installations) and the internet. If you have a large estate with many vCenter servers and Update Managers, do you want all of them pulling down updates straight from VMware? However, punching VMware vCenter® straight out to the internet may not be an attractive option for several reasons, most notably security, but also scaling. VMware vSphere® Update Manager™ is an essential, but often under-appreciated part of VMware vSphere. In a time where security is top of mind, patch management for both the health and security of a VMware vSphere® estate has never been more important.
