rvkrish,

Looks like you are missing that vib. Try running a profile update. Here is an article detailing the process. Also, check out this previous thread for more detail.

Hi,

Please follow the below workaround to solve the problem

1.Migrate/Shutdown the VM's from one host because we need to reboot the host

2.Upload the update package (.zip file.) to any Datastore on the host you’re planning to update.

3. Run this command to do the Image Profile update:- esxcli software profile update –depot=/vmfs/volumes/DATASTORE/Update/ESXi550-201608001.zip -p ESXi-5.5.0-20160804001-standard

4.Reboot the host

Please let me know if it helps you.

Thank you Karanveer [VCP6,CCNA,NPP,NSS} if you find this or any other answer useful please mark the answer as correct or helpful.

This worked for me to change from update to install and allowed me to install the additional patches using the update command

esxcli software vib install -d /path/2/xml
