Update or Upgrade Bundles

An update or upgrade bundle contains bits to update the appropriate Cloud Foundation software components in your management domain or VI workload domain. In most cases, an upgrade bundle must be applied to the management domain before it can be applied to workload domains.

Some upgrade bundles are cumulative bundles. With a cumulative upgrade bundle, you can directly upgrade the appropriate software in your workload domain to the version contained in the cumulative bundle rather than applying sequential upgrades to reach the target version. Cumulative bundles are available only for vCenter Server and ESXi.

Note that you can apply a cumulative bundle to a workload domain only if the target release in the bundle is lower than or at the same version as the management domain. If the cumulative bundle is available for both the management domain and VI workload domains, you must apply it to the management domain before applying it to VI workload domains.
