Hi everyone,
Presented with a new server running esxi5.0 and I'm unable to execute any updates successfully. What has worked for me time n time again with other systems is failing and this time I'm not sure as to the actual issue or how to resolve it.
Command I'm executing (in maintenance mode) :
-
esxcli software profile update -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml -p ESXi-5.5.0-20150204001-standard
It errors with the following :
[VibFormatError]
VIB 'esx-base-6.7.0-0.14.8941472' has invalid payload:
Please refer to the log file for more details.
It seems to run fine, until its depotcollection. Here is the last section of the log,
