Configure Your Patched Product Binaries

With 8.1 patch, you can download and map the OVA bundle that is already patched in a vRealize Automation environment. This operation is useful when you want to scale out a patched environment. Starting from vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.6.1, vRealize Log Insight patch binaries are also supported.

Prerequisites

Ensure the OVA bundle corresponding to the patched product is downloaded from My VMware Portal to vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager appliance and is placed in the data folder. For example: /data/patchovabundles/. For more information on downloading the OVA bundles, click My VMware portal. You can also see the detailed procedure for vRealize Automation at KB 79105.
