Hi,
i try to upload an ESXI 6.7 ISO but i get this error:

I use vCenter 7.0.1 with some clusters but on that cluster i only can update to ESXI 6.7.
Is it possible tu upload the image and update my ESXI from 6.5 to 6.7 via. Lifecycle Manager?

Regards
Dennis

You cannot use VUM to remediate hosts at a lower version than that of vCenter. If vCenter is 7.0, only 7.0 ISOs will be accepted into VUM's store. Older hosts which you aren't planning on bringing up to 7.0 will have to be upgraded via some other method.

Ah. Ok.
And other method is to mount the iso locally and install Esxi?

Yes, or upload the upgrade bundle and patch with esxcli.
