ESXi 6.7 fully patched
Was trying to update an LSI driver and got the following message :
esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/lsi-mr3-7.707.11.00-1OEM.
670.0.0.8169922.x86_64.vib --no-sig-check
[DependencyError]
VIB Avago_bootbank_lsi-mr3_7.707.11.00-1OEM.670.0.0.8169922 requires vmkapi_2_5_0_0, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile.
VIB VMware_locker_tools-light_10.2.0.7253323-8169922 requires esx-version >= 6.6.0, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile.
Please refer to the log file for more details.
Where do I find the updated vmkapi ?
Thanks,
Steve
If you're trying to update an existing VIB, you're using the wrong command line. It should be esxcli software vib update -n file.vib
Still no joy ... here are 2 examples
esxcli software vib update -n /tmp/lsi-mr3-7.707.11.00-1OEM.670.0.0.8169922.x86_64.vib
[Exception]
Use of -n/--vibname requires use of -d/--depot.
Please refer to the log file for more details.
esxcli software vib update -v /tmp/lsi-mr3-7.707.11.00-1OEM.670.0.0.8169922.x86_64.vib --no-sig-check

Try using -f (force) option inline to vib install command
esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/lsi-mr3-7.707.11.00-1OEM.
670.0.0.8169922.x86_64.vib -f --no-sig-check
