Patching a 5.1 host failed

[ArielGraner]

Hi to all,

I have a small problem for you gays to help me out with...

Yesterday I upgraded a host from ESXi 5.0 update 1 to the new ESXi 5.1 (build n. 799733). The upgrade was successful.

Today I tryed to patch the same host with the ESXi510-201210001 patch (build n. 838463). I copied the bundle to a directory within the host, after that I ran the following command: esxcli sfotware vib install -d /path_of_the_bundle/ESXi510-201210001.zip (the host was in maintenance mode in that time).

the output I got is this:

~ # esxcli software vib install -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ESXi510-201210001.zip

Any idea of why the vib's were not installed?
