VMware vSphere 6. By default, there are no baselines attached to a cluster. Since we are using precreated baselines we will proceed to attach those baselines to the host for remediation. As we already have existing baselines, we will choose the option to Attach Baseline or Baseline Group.
If we needed to create a custom baseline, we can choose the option to Create and Attach Baseline. Once all baselines have been selected we will proceed to choose Attach to associate them with our ESXi host. The next thing we need to do is Check Compliance of our host against Update Manager. Check Compliance does a check of currently installed patches, updates and upgrades installed on the ESXi host against what is within the Attached Baselines and Baseline Groups. If there are any missing patches, upgrades or updates the object will be in a Non-Compliant state.
Once the Scan is complete, we can see the status of the Compliance check. We can see that this host as 57 patches that need to be applied with 8 critical and 3 security fixes.

The next section will cover whether or not you wish to remediate the object immediately or schedule for a future date or time.
If you choose to modify the scheduling options you can create a scheduled task to remediate the object at a later date or time. If you uncheck the option it will run immediately. Let's review the remediation settings.
Within this screen we can see the remediation options that have been chosen, these are configured at the vCenter Server level, so if you wish to modify them you need to Close Dialog and Go to Settings. Please note new features introduced with 6.
Consult the Release Notes and Documentation for more information on these features. During an Update Manager remediation, if a host is not already in maintenance mode the first step is to put that host into maintenance mode, moving all running virtual machines to another host within the cluster.
Once the host is put into maintenance mode, Update Manager will automatically Install the updates and reboot the host. When remediation is complete, a Check Compliance scan is automatically ran and the host will be removed from maintenance mode.
Our remediation is now complete as our host is in Compliance with all the attached baselines. For more information and walkthroughs please view our VMware Blogs.
