ESXi offline bundle error

[BjoernHof]

Hallo

I have a problem to update a ESXi 6.0.0 with the offline bundle zip.

I downloaded the original offline bundle zip and copied via scp to the ESXi host.

If I use the CLI Command „ esxcli software profile update -d /tmp/bundle-name.zip -p esxi-6.0.0-U3 „ I get a error massage like this

Error extracting index.xml from /var/log/vmware/update-bundle.zip: [Error]No such file or directory: '/var/log/vmware/update-bundle.zip File is not a zip file

I testet other bundle zip with the same error massage.

Welcome to the Community,

Please provide the exact command which you've tried to run.

The exact command

esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.0.0_U3 -d /tmp/ESXi600-201706001.zip

Where did you find this profile name?

To find out which profiles are available in a .zip bundle, run:

esxcli software sources profile list -d /tmp/ESXi600-201706001.zip

In this case it should return 4 profiles, where one of them is "ESXi-6.0.0-20170604001-standard"

If so, the update command should be:

esxcli software profile update -d /tmp/ESXi600-201706001.zip -p ESXi-6.0.0-20170604001-standard
