UPGRADE VMWARE ESXI 5 USING WGET WITH FTP

[Fabsanblackbr]

Hi;

I would like to do a upgrade of my ESXI 5, using a patch by ftp, but I don´t get done the copy this file. At moment is not possible wget with http.

/vmfs/volumes # vmware -v

VMware ESXi 5.0.0 build-469512

/vmfs/volumes # cd /vmfs/volumes/datastore1

/vmfs/volumes/4f508f0a-a20facc5-09e7-90e2ba02b9e9 # cd UPDATE

/vmfs/volumes/4f508f0a-a20facc5-09e7-90e2ba02b9e9/UPDATE # wget ftp://cisco:cisco123@10.1.100.177/ESXi500-201207001.zip

Connecting to 10.1.100.177 (10.1.100.177:21)

wget: cannot connect to remote host (10.1.100.177): Connection timed out

In my machine with ftp server is possible to see the start of the copy but no exist a progress.

Please, my procedure is correct??

Can you confirm if your firewall is set to allow ftpclients;

~ # esxcli network firewall ruleset list | grep -i ftpclient

ftpClient             false

~ #

Hi,

My machine show

~ #  esxcli network firewall ruleset list | grep -i ftpclient  

ftpClient              true

Is it wrong?

Very thanks by help.

Although you have the ftpClient rule already enabled, what you could do, to see if the ESXi firewall is your issue.

~ # esxcli network firewall set -e false

This disables the firewall entirely so this won't come in the way. If this doesn't work, try basic troubleshooting from the ESXi host. Do a ping, and see if the routes are correct (esxcli network ip route ipv4 list).

If disabling the firewall resolves your issue, be sure to enable it again:

~ # esxcli network firewall set -e false

And post the output of esxcli network firewall ruleset list and cat /etc/vmware/firewall/*.xml.
