Jul 11, 2018 - First, you need a server running VMware ESXi 6.x. Add an additional Network adapter using the button at the top, and then select the LAN port-group we created. You should be presented with the pfSense web interface. Or you can try to fix the active bank, by adding the right drivers using a USB key as described in KB 1036340 (Cannot mount a USB key or disk device media to an ESX/ESXi host) that works fine also with ESXi 5.1. Note that the USB key must be not bigger than 2 GB and formatted with FAT16 (on Windows you have to use the FAT option during the format).
In a previous post I wrote about how to easily. This time I will show another method of updating ESXi, more specific I will update ESXi 6.5 with the command line tool (esxcli). This method works either the ESXi server is standalone or added to a vCenter Server (I will use no component of vCenter Server). When is this method better than using the Update Manager?
The simplest use case is when you have no vCenter Server (because Update Manager is a component of vCenter Server). In other cases, you may be more familiar running scripts than clicking into a user interface 🙂 As a prerequisite, I placed the ESXi server in maintenance mode. Check ESXi Version To find the current version of ESXi, after I connected with PuTTY to the server, I ran this command: esxcli system version get This shows me the current version, which in my case is ESXi 6.5.0 build 5310538. My target is to update this ESXi server to latest release which currently is, released on 4th October 2017. By default, ESXi firewall blocks httpClient. I check if this is the case with this command: esxcli network firewall ruleset list| grep httpClient If it returns “true”, then the firewall is open, else we need to open it with the next command.
To allow httpClient traffic to pass through the firewall, I ran: esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e true -r httpClient To get a list of available versions from VMware site, I used this command to filter for ESXi 6.5.0: esxcli software sources profile list -d| grep ESXi-6.5.0 My target release is listed as available under the name “ESXi-6.5.0-1-standard”. This name is important, as I will need it later for the update command. Update ESXi version It’s now time to run the update command: esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.5.0-1-standard -d Please note I used in the command the ESXi version previously copied (ESXi-6.5.0-1-standard). The update will take few minutes to download and install the required packages.

There is no update progress on the screen, in the end you will see a long list of updated vibs. As best practice, we need to disable the firewall rule we previously enabled: esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e false -r httpClient A reboot is required. Reboot the ESXi server and wait for it to be back available. Verify ESXi Version Now that the ESXi server is powered on, I connected back to SSH and re-ran the version command: esxcli system version get As expected, I see the my target version ESXi 6.5.0 build 6765664. Happy VM managing 🙂.
