Hi All,
when I tried to stage patches on a ESX 5.5 server using update manager. In the esxupdate.log , it says, "Error in copying from /altbootbank/vmware_f.v00 to /tmp/stagebootbank/vmware_f.v00: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/altbootbank/vmware_f.v00'") and i couldn't find vmware_f.v00 file on the altbootbank for some strange reason.
I tried to stage the patches on the same ESX server yesterday, it worked fine but it's not working today. I have checked the disk space and it's looks alright to me. Could you please help me to fix this issue.
/vmfs/volumes/c224d17b-5a25d564-71c0-2ae6513b2393 # pwd
/altbootbank
/vmfs/volumes/c224d17b-5a25d564-71c0-2ae6513b2393 # ls -l *vm
ls: *vm: No such file or directory
