Hi Dturner71,
Have you updated the build to be exactly the same ?
I also face the same problem here, FYI: here's the steps that I've got from this forum :
Backup procedure :
1. Open SSH connection to your ESXi with "putty"
2. Backup your "/bootbank/oem.tgz" file to a datastore :
Sample cmd :
cp /bootbank/oem.tgz /vmfs/volumes/datastore/tmp/
3. Open "RCLI Command Prompt"
4. Add "Perl\bin" directory to default windows path with command :
cmd : set path=%path%;"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware VI Remote CLI\Perl\bin"
3. Backup ESXi configuration to a local file :
Sample cmd : _
vicfg-cfgbackup.pl --server server_name_or_ip -s backup_file_name_
Restore procedure :
1. Open "RCLI Command Prompt"
2. Add "Perl\bin" directory to default windows path with command :
cmd : set path=%path%;"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware VI Remote CLI\Perl\bin"
3. Restore ESXi configuration from the local backup file :
Sample cmd :
_vicfg-cfgbackup.pl --server server_name_or_ip -l backup_file_name_
4. Reboot ESXi
5. Open SSH connection to your ESXi with "putty"
6. Restore your "/bootbank/oem.tgz" file from the datastore :
Sample cmd :_
cp /vmfs/volumes/datastore/tmp/oem.tgz /bootbank/_
7. Reboot ESXi
any luck in restoring it ?
Kind Regards,
AWT
