[DependencyError] VIB VFrontDe_bootbank_net51-drivers_1.1.0-1vft.510.0.0.799733 requires vmkapi_2_1_0_0

Hi all,

I need some help as I am trying to upgrade my ESXi 6.5 (standalone) to 6.7 but I get some errors.

I just run this on the shell:

[root@BLACK:~] esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e true -r httpClient

[root@BLACK:~] esxcli software profile update -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml -p ESXi-6.7.0-20200403001-standard --dry-run

and received the following error:

[DependencyError]

VIB VFrontDe_bootbank_net51-drivers_1.1.0-1vft.510.0.0.799733 requires vmkapi_2_1_0_0, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile.

Please refer to the log file for more details.

After a quick investigation I can see one NIC is currently missing any ways (IPMI port on Supermicro motherboard), but I have never used it as IPMI is in shared mode so accessible via vmnic2

[root@BLACK:~] esxcli network nic list

What am I doing wrong?

When you have verified that you dont have a need for net51-drivers anymore you could uninstall it. Place the Host into MM and try

esxcli software vib remove -n net51-drivers

From https://vibsdepot.v-front.de/wiki/index.php/Net51-drivers

Does NOT work With: ESXi 6.7 and newer

So you may need to check which exact NIC model you have, and whether another driver from e.g. the mentioned visdepot is available.

I have been looking for the precise network model.... what I can see in ESXi is this:

pastedImage_0.png

And this is what it's on the SuperMicro site Super Micro Computer, Inc. - Aplus Products | Motherboards | H8DGi-F :

IPMI
  • Support for Intelligent Platform Management Interface v.2.0
  • IPMI 2.0 with virtual media over LAN and KVM over LAN support
  • Winbond® WPCM450 BMC
Network Controllers
  • Intel® 82576 controller, Dual-Port
       Gigabit Ethernet
  • 10/100/1000BASE-T support

Also is there any VIB to look for to support the Winbond® WPCM450 BMC ?

Thanks

Apologies, I'm not sure how I can verify this? Not sure what igb means in this context?

pastedImage_0.png

Perhaps it's this? https://vibsdepot.v-front.de/wiki/index.php/Net-igb

I'm risking locking myself disconnected if this is to remove the existing  primary network driver I suppose?

Never mind I think I worked that out, igb is indeed a different VIB. Removed now the update command --dry-run doesn't complain any more.

Thanks!!!! 🙂

"igb" stands for  intel gigabit or so. It available as VMware vanilla or Async and pretty sure not part of the net51-driver vib.
