Hello!
I am unable to update my ESXi 6.7 Update 1 to the latest patched version, which is ESXi-6.7.0-20181104001. While trying to do so via esxcli, I'm getting the following error:
[root@esxhost:~] esxcli software profile update -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml -p ESXi-6.7.0-20181104001-stan

vibs = ['VMware_bootbank_esx-update_6.7.0-1.31.10764712']
Please refer to the log file for more details.
I've attached a partial esx-update.log here as well. This is a clean 6.7U1 install with some VMs running. Before I've always updated this way and never encountered issues. Wonder what might be the issue. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi
Let us know if you fix your problem, otherwise we can provide additional
Vmware Esxi Update No Space Left On Device Error
UPDATE:
I've solution!
1) Install the locker vib manually:
cd /tmp
esxcli software vib install -f -v /tmp/VMware_locker_tools-light_6.5.0-0.23.5969300.vib
2)
Update:
esxcli software profile update -f -p ESXi-6.5.0-20170702001-standard -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-
depot-index.xml
Tried enabling host swap as in the linked post, didn't help.
Tried manually reinstalling with the latest version from the repository (which was already installed), no changes either:
