VMware Update Manager

[Joe51]

I'm running ESX 5.0 right now and I have inherited this setup with little known about it.  In Vsphere, I click on plug-ins-->Manage Plugins and I see there is an available VMWare vSphere Update manager Extension.  The version is 5.0.0.8039.  The status is download and install.  What systems will be affected if I install it?  I'm trying to make sure I don't take down everything not realizing what I'm doing.  Thanks

This will install the cleint plug-in on the local machine you are running the vSphere Client from only. No other systems will be impacted.

Installing plugin will not have any impact. If will allow the manage the VUM from th system which you are accessing vCenter using vSphere Client
