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
Vmware esxi 6 update how to#
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.
Vmware esxi 6 update install#
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.
