Re: How Can I tell if a hypervisor is patched in vCenter using VUM or otherwise?

Looking at the above list you seem to have Bugfixes but I would expect to see at least as many security fixes as well. You might want to double check that list and loop those in as well.

 

Its my understanding that each subsequent build number within the same version (i.e. 5.0 is a different stream to 5.1, 4.0, and 4.1) is cumulative in its fixes within the patches (You'd hope that is true but I guess there is a slight chance that subsequent fixes could inadvertently undo prior efforts). Unfortunately I'm not aware of any way of seeing a list of fixes (bug or security) from one old build number (with its patches) to the a new (with its patches) without individually going into each patch KB article within a release and reviewing it manually.

 

This is where the KB articles for the Patch Release and the Patches themselves comes into it. You just need to track down those KBs for the Patches you've listed above (plus any extra Security patches)......I provided examples of those KBs above so that once you had the list you have you would know what you are looking for.

 

If there is a better way with publicly available information I'm not aware of it. If you have a TAM or support contract you might be able to request a collated list of patches with their list of issues fixed between one build number and the next. But that is pure conjecture spiced with a bit of laziness.... ;-)
