How to reset and update the Polycom Soundpoint 331 and 335 phone Default pass: 456 or vonage account number To reset pass: on boot hold down 1,3,5,7 and enter the MAC address. Hi, this post describes an ESXi Host Upgrade from Version 6.0 to 6.7 with an offline (bundle) zip file. The procedure for other version should be the same. I used the image provided by the 'Vendor'. First of all, download the image form the Vendors Website and copy the VMware/Vendor image via ssh to the host, for example to esxdatastore0. If possible move all VMs to another ho. Esxcli software sources profile list -d grep -i ESXi-6 to list available profiles. (or do just the same but with ”ESXi-6.5″ at the end of the command, to see just the 2 profiles corresponding to ESXi 6.5).
Was contacted a few days ago by customer who got the following error when trying to upgrade their ESXi hosts.
[DependencyError]
VIB VMware_bootbank_esx-base_6.0.0-2.43.4192238 requires vsan >= 6.0.0-2.43, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile. VIB VMware_bootbank_esx-base_6.0.0-2.43.4192238 requires vsan << 6.0.0-2.44, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile. Please refer to the log file for more details.
From VMware ESXi 6.0 Update 2 and onwards the component Virtual SAN (vSAN) 6.2 is bundled as a VIB in the ESXi ISO and this is clearly stated in the VMware public release notes.
I will not discuss why the customer used esxcli to perform the upgrade, that’s just the way it is for the sake of this blog post.
Anyway, the following command was used when trying to perform the upgrade:
Then just stop any running VMs, which is my customers case was the Nutanix Controller Virtual Machines (CVMs), on each ESXi host / Nutanix node and then reboot it.
Esxcli Software Sources Profile List
Please be sociable & share if you liked the blog post
I was cleaning out a few of my to-do items (list just keeps getting longer everyday) this morning and there was a question that I received a few weeks back asking how to retrieve the list of Image Profiles for a given ESXi patch. This is actually quite easy and you will want to use ESXCLI.
Note: The examples shown below is using ESXCLI on the ESXi Shell, but these commands can be execute remotely as well using ESXCLI or through PowerCLI with Get-EsxCli cmdlet.
To list the available Image Profiles for an ESXi patch, run the following command (ensure you substitute the full path to your ESXi patch):
esxcli software sources profile list -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ESXi510-201212001.zip
To get more details on a particular Image Profile, run the following command and specify the -p for the specific Image Profile:
esxcli software sources profile get -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ESXi510-201212001.zip -p ESXi-5.1.0-20121204001-no-tools

To install/update a specific Image Profile, run the following command with the Image Profile name:
If you just want to install the ESXi patch, run the following command which will install the esx-base Image Profile by default which will include everything:
