ESX 6.0 to upgrade 6.7 VIBs error

[marciopera01]

Hello,

I have an ESX host on an Cisco Systems Inc UCSB-B200-M4 running 6.0 and trying to upgrade to 6.7, the vib not found by running the command esxcli software vib list | grep QLC

Hi @marciopera01,

Is the VIB present if you look at the list itself?

• esxcli software vib list ? 

If not I suggest looking at the term "qedrntv" too look if it is present. You could use the following for that:

• esxcli software vib list | grep -i qedrntv

The command you showed should also list you some results. I suggest you try and reboot the host once to see if the VIB comes up. You can also try the following command on the ESXi host to check more information on the mentioned vib:

• vmkload_mod -s qedrntv

[root@esx:~] vmkload_mod -s qedrntv
vmkload_mod module information
 input file: /usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/qedrntv
 Version: 3.11.16.0-1OEM.670.0.0.8169922
 Build Type: release
 License: QLogic_Proprietary
 Required name-spaces:
  com.vmware.vmkapi#v2_5_0_0
 Parameters:
  enable_atomic: bool
    Enable Atomic RDMA Operations. 1: Enable(Default), 0: Disable
  roce_mode: uint
    Define default RoCE mode.0=RoCE v1 (Default), 1=RoCE v2 IPv4
  debug: uint
    Define debug msglevel

Also, if you want an easy way to remove the VIB with Powershell, you can have a look at a blogpost I made:

Please let me know if you have any other questions or results.
