Why each option
vSphere Update Manager (VUM) can upgrade two key virtual machine attributes: the VMware Tools version and the Virtual Hardware Version.
VUM does not manage NSX firewall policies; those are configured and enforced through NSX Manager, not the update infrastructure.
VUM does not install or upgrade guest OS software packages; that falls outside its scope and is handled by tools like WSUS, yum/apt, or vSphere Lifecycle Manager guest OS patching.
VUM can scan VMs for outdated virtual hardware and remediate them by upgrading the Hardware Version (e.g., from vmx-11 to vmx-13), enabling access to newer virtual device capabilities.
VUM includes a dedicated VMware Tools upgrade baseline that detects outdated Tools installations inside guest VMs and automates the upgrade process during remediation.
