Hello,
I noticed something very peculiar. We use the Infrastructure Appliance v13.0.1.1071 for VMware Proxies and hardened repositories. The Backup Server is a Windows box running same version.
Every night, we get an eMail saying that check for updates was successful for the Windows Backupserver but failed for all the appliances.
When we enable the WebGUI on the appliances and login to their WebGUI’s on port 10433, we go to “Updates” which will say that the last check failed. But when we click on “Check for updates” it works fine. Updates are found, downloaded and installed. All good.
So what’s the difference between the automatic daily checks and clicking on “check for updates” on each appliance? We never see the firewall dropping outbound traffic from the appliances around the time the automated daily update checks are done. And the Veeam backup Server (Windows) is the only one, every day, which has no problems checking for updates.
The fact that manual checks and patch installs work fine on all appliances indicates that DNS, routing and patch-server-on-the-internet-connectivity are all working correctly.
