Hello,
I am trying a scripted upgrade from esxi 6.0 to esxi 6.5 on a remote disk (FC LUN) using iPXE server.
Seeing this issue “upgrade –firstdisk specified, but no suitable disk was found”.
However fresh “install” of esxi 6.5 works fine in the same environment with out any issues. Please let me know if I am missing something in the upgrade part.
Below is the ks.cfg
[root@localhost tftpboot]# cat /var/www/html/ks_mirror/ESX65/ks.cfg
##
# Basic install options
##
vmaccepteula
rootpw pass123
reboot
#install --firstdisk --overwritevmfs
upgrade --firstdisk
network --bootproto=dhcp
%firstboot --interpreter=busybox
esxcli network firewall unload
(LINK REMOVED)
vim-cmd hostsvc/enable_ssh
vim-cmd hostsvc/start_ssh
vim-cmd hostsvc/enable_esx_shell
vim-cmd hostsvc/start_esx_shell
