I downloaded the latest vCenter Server - filename: "VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-1123966.iso", which according to the docs on VMware's download site should be build number 1123966. However after doing the update successfully and restarting vCenter Server, in vCenter I highlight the vCenter server at the top of the tree on the left and across the top right it says: VMware vCenter Server,5.1.0, 1123961! Looks like I lost 5 builds somehow? <G>
If I do a "Help | About VMware vSphere" and look at the top fro the VMware vCenter Server, it also shows the Version as 5.1.0 and the Build as 1123961.
Any idea where the other 5 builds went?
Also, is there any logical reason why VMware always talks about the versions as updates such as 'Update 1', 'Update 1a' for vSphere but no where on the vCenter server or the info on the ESXi host can you find the 'Update' versions. Instead you can only find 'build numbers'? Why not just always refer to the versions, everywhere as the build number so it can be easily compared?
Thanks,
