MemoryError upgrading 7.0.0 (Build 16324942) to (Build 17867351)

Hello,

Running:

7.0.0 (Build 16324942) | Image profile: DEL-ESXi-700_16324942-A02 (Dell Inc.)

I'm trying to do online update to ESXi-7.0U2a-17867351-standard

But either getting a MemoryError:

2021-06-10T09:02:48Z esxupdate: 532272: downloader: INFO: Failed to execute "esxcli network firewall ruleset client remove -r esxupdate" with status 1
2021-06-10T09:02:48Z esxupdate: 532272: vmware.runcommand: INFO: runcommand called with: args = 'localcli system visorfs ramdisk list | grep /esx-update-532272 && localcli system visorfs ramdisk remove -t /tmp/esx-update-532272', outfile = 'None', returnoutput = 'True', timeout = '0.0'.

Or generic:

Got no data from process: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 /usr/lib/vmware/esxcli-software profile.update -d "https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml" -p "ESXi-7.0U2a-17867351-standard"

Is there any way to manually download ESXi-7.0U2a-17867351-standard from depot and try installing from local datastore?

Thanks.

Hello,

Sort of. I downloaded the package and then installed it from local datastore without any errors.
