Warning: You CANT deploy an ESXi image, thats OLDER than the Update Manager you are running, i.e. Scroll back up to the TOP of all that text, and you are looking for, is ‘ The update completed successfully‘. Below you can see me navigating to the Datastore Įsxcli software vib update -d /vmfs/volumes// VMWare-ESXi-6.5.0-Update2-9298722-HPE-preGen9-650.U2.9.6.8.3-Sept2018-depot.zipįor a while it will look like nothing is happening, (don’t panic.) After a while a LOT of text will scroll past (quickly). SSH into the host you are going to upgrade. Or, you can upload the bundle via SCP into the appropriate datastore, if you prefer. NOTE: If you are updating an HPE Server, there will be a gen-9 and a pre-gen-9 update bundle! Pick the correct one! Upload the offline bundle into a datastore, (that the host to be upgraded has access to!) While in here, shut down the guest VMs on this host, and put the host into ‘ maintenance mode‘. Solution 1: Use an ‘Offline Bundle’ updateįirstly, you need a copy of the appropriate ‘offline bundle’ update, below you can see this is the customised one for HPE servers. licences, vSwitches (standard and distributed), certificates etc. AND IT RETAINS ALL THE HOST SETTINGS, i.e.
Still, if you have a vendor modified copy of ESX what do you do? Well the following procedures will work for any version of the software, either vanilla VMware or HP/Dell/IBM etc. Well that’s great but if you are using a custom ESXi image, the process won’t even start, you simply get warned that this won’t work, as it will break all the vendor specific drivers/software, (which is a good thing I suppose, the warning I mean, not the breaking things!)

To remove we use esxcli software vib remove -n ‘vibname’Īfter the reboot, scan the host again from updates tab in VMware vSphere web client and it should now show as non-complaint and not incompatible.Esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e true -r httpClientĮsxcli software profile install -p ESXi-6.5.0-20170702001-standard -d There might be some VIBS that have dependency’s on others in our case the net-mlx4-core needed to be removed after the net-mlx4-en as it was dependent on it. Below is the KB from VMware on removing VIBS. Once we confirm that none of the VIBS are required the last step is to remove each one.

We use esxcli to view if the drivers are in use and what version each isĮsxcli system module list | grep lpfc820, esxcli network nic get -n vmnic0 If they where in use we would need to look at creating a custom image or wipe and reload the ESXi host. Once we know the version numbers of the VIBS, we just need to confirm they are not used and if not used remove them.
To get the list of storage and network adapter use the esxcli commandsĮsxcli software vib list | grep scsi-lpfc820

Next we needed to find out if the VIBS where in use by either the storage or network adapters,īelow is the VMware KB that explain how to do this. If you can’t do a fresh install below is how I checked to see if the VIBS where in use and how to remove them. VMware recommends doing a fresh install if possible but in this case that was not possible, but if you get this error and can do a fresh install that would be the better option. The issue seem to be related to older hosts that where previously upgraded from ESXi 5.5. In our case the VIBS causing issue was the below.

To find the missing VIBS we ended up having to mount the ISO through HPE ILO and try a manual upgrade which did show the conflicting VIBS. The issues was related to VIBS but they where not showing in the html 5 client. When applying the image we where getting incompatible warring and where not able to apply the image to upgrade ESXi on some hosts.
Recently we have been upgrading some VMware host from ESXi 6.0 to ESXi 6.7, We where applying the image using VMware update manager and a HPE custom ESXi image.
