How to upgrade rollup pack for HyperV host?

While we  upgraded SCVMM 2012 R2  server and console for rollup pack 1 but couldn’t find a way to upgrade Hyper V host and it was complaining Warning (20510)

An upgrade is available for Virtual Machine Manager agent version 3.2.7510.0 on the computer XXX.COM.

Recommended Action

Update the VMM agent, and then try the operation again.

To find out the status select the host and then choose view status.

Once we choose host agent version and select repair all . This will fix all the remaining host in the cluster.
