Update ESXi to 6.5 update 1
I’m using a standalone Mac Mini with VMware vSphere (ESXi) on it. So for that reason I’m not able to use the update manager to upgrade the host. Last week I’ve upgraded version 6.5 to v6.5 update 1. See this blog for details about how to do that. The one-liner to use via SSH is:
esxcli software profile update -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml -p ESXi-6.5.0-20170702001-standard
After a reboot you should be able to run vSphere 6.5 update 1 (with an upgraded new web=interface on https://<ip>/ui).
In my case I had an error with updating. There seemed to be to less space on the USB stick I’m booting from. The error message wasn’t clear about this. After rebooting the ESX-host and trying again, it gave me this error.
[InstallationError] [Errno 28] No space left on device vibs = VMware_locker_tools-light_6.5.0-0.23.5969300 Please refer to the log file for more details.
The solution was to change the default swap location via the web-interface (Host > Manage > System > Swap from ‘Datastore: none’ to ‘Datastore: LocalSSD’ (LocalSSD is just my name. It can differ in your set-up.
Thank you, i had the same error “[Errno 28] No space left on device” and was able to solve it because of you! 🙂
thank you for that!! I’ve searched so long for a solution on that. 🙂
You made my day man. Thanks a bunch!
Great, Works like magic for me, thx very much
I tried this. Even deleted the swap and re-added. Still stuck. Any ideas?
