My system is running on VMware vSphere 5.1 U1 (newest).
I tried to update the ESX host (State host) but it failed with error message:
Stage patches to entity rvc-esx-01
The host returns esxupdate error code:15. The package manager transaction is not successful. Check the Update Manager log files and esxupdate log files for more details.
I checked the esxupdate.log and there are many error messages as follow. Please help me to identify the trouble.
Thank so much.
