I started with a new company and I have a question about Update Manager. This may sound dumb. It flies in the face of how I have administered vCenter and ESXi over the years.
What is the value of keeping vCenter and its components patched with Update Manager? In my new environment vCenter Server 4.1.0.258905 and ESXi 4.1.988178 are in use. It would appear ESXi has been upgraded manually to this version and patches going back forever have never been applied. The view here is that vCenter and ESXi are stable where they are at. Why patch and update if it could cause an issue with a stable environment?
Its hard to argue with that. Not sure how to answer it. Any ideas?
Thanks
