Error Upgrading ESXi 5.1 U1 to 5.5 U1 (or 5.1 U2, same error) - Could not parse VIB XML, 100-digit error code

Hi,

today is the first day in my VMware life that I ran into an error whilst trying to upgrade with CD at the server ... as I was suspecting a wrong image I tried both the HP and the standard images - same error.

Unfortunately neither the VMware KB or Google gave me a hit on searching ... but maybe you can give me a hint :slightly_smiling_face: (ok, honestly I didn't enter the 100-digit error code).

Cheers!

hi

did you do an actual upgrade or new installation?

is there any custom VIB installed?

i think you just should install new esx 5.5 u1 and don't do an upgrade. you can keep the datastore if you want but if possible just do new installation.

kind regards Vervoort Jurgen VCP6-DCV, VCP-cloud http://www.vdssystems.be

Actually doing a new install is the easy way out ... thought the upgrade error would be of interest :slightly_smiling_face:
