      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have ESXI v7.0.0 install and have been using it for over a year.&amp;nbsp; It is connected to VSphere Center.&amp;nbsp; I have been able to patch vCenter using the Appliance Manager to 7.0.2.00200.&amp;nbsp; I now need to patch ESXi.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;FYI, vCenter is a VM on the ESXi host.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I tried using vCenter to patch the ESXi Host and when I remediate I get the attached issue.&amp;nbsp; I don't know how to fix this since vCenter is installed on the host.&amp;nbsp; If I shutdown vCenter then I won't be able to patch ESXi.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Please help!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Rick&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="2021-08-16_13-27-56.jpg" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/90604i0B02F3F5368C437F/image-size/medium/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="2021-08-16_13-27-56.jpg" alt="2021-08-16_13-27-56.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;you can upgrade your ESXi host from DCUI mode.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mount the the esxi ISO&amp;nbsp; on the Virtual CD of the idrac and perform an "Upgrade ESXi, preserve VMFS Datastore"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="kenobi79_0-1629194021386.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/90614i040E2A0EE93C4DD1/image-size/medium/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="kenobi79_0-1629194021386.png" alt="kenobi79_0-1629194021386.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;And go on.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Your vCenter Server must be on the same version of esxi&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;So I have to have the most current version of ESXi on an ISO then?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Ricardo,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I was able to get the latest ESXi iso.&amp;nbsp; Unfortunately, I am fairly new to this.&amp;nbsp; How do I mount the ISO on the Host?&amp;nbsp; I know how to do this on a VM but I can't seem to find it on the host?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;A few questions:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;On what hardware (vendor/model) do you have ESXi installed?&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Did you download the vendor customized ESXi image (if applicable)?&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Do you have any additional drivers/tools installed on the ESXi host?&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Does the host offer remote management, e.g. Dell iDRAC, or HPE ilO, and is it licensed for for advanced features like virtual media?&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As an alternative to using the ISO image (or a CD-ROM) you can also use an Offline Bundle (&lt;EM&gt;.zip&lt;/EM&gt;) file to update/patch the host from the command line.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As a side note. Consider to update the host's firmware too.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Andre,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I built the server myself.&amp;nbsp; I am a software developer and use the VMs to support my clients.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I installed vSphere 7 Enterprise Plus.&amp;nbsp; So, vCenter is running and controlling ESXi.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;vCenter is running v7.02 ( I was able to upgrade vCenter from v7.0.0)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;ESXi is running v 7.00&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So, I need to know what to do now to patch ESXi.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Rick&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Assuming that the latest ESXi version supports your hardware, you may either burn a CD-ROM from the ISO image that you've downloaded, and boot the ESXi host from that CD-ROM. This will let you choose whether to re-install or upgrade ESXi (see &lt;a href="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5451405"&gt;@kenobi79&lt;/a&gt; 's reply).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Other than this you may download the Offline Bundle (&lt;EM&gt;.zip&lt;/EM&gt; file), and update/patch ESXi by running a couple of commands from the command line.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;You can burn your ESXi ISO&amp;nbsp;as indicated by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/173652"&gt;@a_p_&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; or from idrac or ilo of your server... you must open the virtual console (of idrac or ilo) and attach the virtual cd, then browse to your iso and mount it (&lt;SPAN&gt;you have to do as when you first installed esxi)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;then reboot the esxi and boot from cdrom.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;PS: verify that your hatdware is in matrix with the latest version of esxi&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;you can burn the esxi iso on a usb key or burn on cd and boot the server from the device...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;on the usb key, i think that you can use unetboot in for to have a bootable usb&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
