Description
|
| applicable | xsd:boolean |
Whether or not this update is applicable to this host. An update
may not be applicable to the ESX host for many reasons--for
example, it is obsolete, it conflicts with other installed
patches or libraries, and so on. The reason shows some of the reasons
why the update is not applicable.
An update could be inapplicable with no reason listed. This is
because the prerequisite install state is not correct. For example,
update A is one of the prerequisites of update B. B not only
requires A to be installed, but also requires the host is
rebooted after A is installed. When A is installed and the host
has not been restarted after the installation, B will not be
applicable. In such a case, the scan on both updates A and B
would yield a whole picture of the update applicable status.

| reconnectRequired | xsd:boolean |

the host after the agent has been restarted.
