ESXi Upgrade to 5.5 with CLI - is this the correct command?

[stanj]

I am planning an upgrade from ESXi 5.1 to ESXi 5.5 after updating vCenter to 5.5.

I am looking at using CLI so I can remote ssh to the ESXi and run the update.

Once I copy the depot zip file to the ESXi Datastore, is the following command the correct format?

esxcli software profile update --depot= /vmfs/volumes/datastore/VMware-ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-depot.zip  --profile= ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-standard

Yup, that should suffice. Remember to put the host in maintenance before applying the profile update.

yes on maint mode...

and to reboot the ESXi Server after the update..:smileyinfo:

thanks

It should mention that it wants to reboot after with something like this:

Message: The update completed successfully, but the system needs to be rebooted for the changes to be effective.

If it all works out, be sure to post it here, and mark answers as helpful or correct for the future.
