Implementation Details


NOTE: BEFORE Installing the patch ensure snapshot of the cluster is taken.


As my environment was on VMware Aria Operations 8.18.0 , I did download vrlcm-vrops-8.18.0-HF5.patch using https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/solutiondetails?patchId=5818


Now let's check how to get this installed or implemented.


Firstly, Download the patch or HF and then copy it into VMware Aria Suite Lifeccyle /data partition.





Go to Lifecycle Operations -- Binary Mapping -- Patch Binary -- Add

Enter the base location where the patch is present and then click on DISCOVER


Select the discovered patch and click on ADD



Here's the version info and the build number before i started the patch install



Let's now go to the Day-2 Operation called Patch



Select the Patch to be installed


Review and Submit the patch.



Click on INSTALL for the Patch install flow to begin



After sometime , the patching is now complete.

Before patch the build number was 24025145. Now after 8.18.1 HF5, the build number is 8.18.3.24663033


Here's the environment section where it shows that it's on 8.18.3 Patch. Build Number is clearly shown in the properties.


No matter which version your coming from when the patch is applied , it goes to 8.18.3 Patch Build. Which is the latest one.

This concludes the patching blog.
