I just upgraded from ESXi 6.0.0, 7967664 to 9239799 via the handy web link:
https://esxi-patches.v-front.de/
After the system came back up, all VMs are reporting, "Running, (Unsupported)" for vmware tools
Browsing to the vmimages shows the folder is empty.
From a ssh console, I show the below in /storage/packages
drwxr-xr-x | 1 root | root | 8 Nov 19 2016 6.5.0 |
drwxr-xr-x | 1 root | root | 8 Nov 19 2016 var |
Is anybody else seeing this? Is the fix just as simple as copying the 6.5.0 folder to 6.0.0?
Thanks,
Doug
I don't expect to see 6.5.0 dir on ESXi 6.0
Anyways create a 6.0.0 dir and copy the content from a diff ESXi 6.0 host.
You will need to copy from 6.0.0 and re-create symlinks.
ssh into ESXi host and share the output please:

can you cd in to /locker/packages/6.0.0/vmtools
No,
Since /locker/packages has sub-directories of:
drwxr-xr-x | 1 root | root | 8 Nov 19 2016 6.5.0 |
drwxr-xr-x | 1 root | root | 8 Nov 19 2016 var |
I don't expect to see 6.5.0 dir on ESXi 6.0
Anyways create a 6.0.0 dir and copy the content from a diff ESXi 6.0 host.
Instead of a copy I just did a mv 6.5.0/ 6.0.0 and rebooted the host. Things are fine again.
Thank you for your help!
