Explanation:
Table 6-2. Patch DetailsWindow Severity – Severity of the update. For hosts the severity status might be Critical, General, Security, and so on. For virtual machines the severity might be Critical, Important, Moderate, and so on
Doubt if these answers are correct in vSphere5..
When I look in vCenter 5 update manager and create a new baseline these options are available when selecting Dynamic Host update.
Severity:
-Any
-Low
-Moderate
-Important
-Critical
Catagory:
-Any
-Security
-BugFix
-Enhancement
-Other
I want to agree with the above, and here is why. taken from this vmware article. These values in this question relate to only vsphere 4.x and below and have been changed for vsphere 5.x. so should this question be removed from the vcp5.x series Admin? or moved to a 4.x question set?
