I got 'DepencencyError' when applying a new patch downloaded from VMware patch list.
Can anyone help?
TIA
Use profile update commands:
To get a list of available profiles within a path use the command below:
esxcli software sources profile list -d <location of ZIP file>
example: esxcli software sources profile list -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/update-from-esxi6.7-6.7_update02.zip
Then, run this command to update the host:
esxcli software profile update - p <profile name> -d <location of ZIP file> -f
example: esxcli software profile update -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/update-from-esxi6.7-6.7_update02.zip -p ESXi-6.7.0-20190402001-standard -f
hope you are doing fine:
Please check this out VMware Knowledge Base
Thank you guys for replying!
Unfortunately our existing install is not a standard vendor one - we tweaked (customized) the installer so the profile names are different
Here is 'esxcli software profile get'
Then update error (problem to match the customized name)
Then I tried the 2nd way (VIB install) from the KB and got DependencyError
You have made a mistake, you have used image profile that installed on your ESXi host. Get image profile from the zip file and then update image profile. review the shared commands again.
it worked well from 6.0 to 6.5 with hp custom images for dl20 gen9 at least.
