升級 ESXi 6.5 到 ESXi 6.7

今天因為 VM 裡面行為怪怪的決定來升級一下 ESXi host。

升級指令通常滿簡單的，打開防火牆，撈一下有哪些可以升級

esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e true -r httpClient
esxcli software sources profile list -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml | grep -i ESXi-6.7

ESXi-6.7.0–20190401001s-standard VMware, Inc. PartnerSupported 2019–11–25T11:42:42 2019–11–25T11:42:42
ESXi-6.7.0–20190801001s-standard VMware, Inc. PartnerSupported 2019–11–25T11:42:42 2019–11–25T11:42:42
ESXi-6.7.0–20181004001-no-tools VMware, Inc. PartnerSupported 2019–11–25T11:42:42 2019–11–25T11:42:42
ESXi-6.7.0–20181002001-standard VMware, Inc. PartnerSupported 2019–11–25T11:42:42 2019–11–25T11:42:42
....

選好後下指令開始升級

esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.7.0–20191204001-standard -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCT
ION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml

不過這次先遇到很奇怪的錯誤.. 但硬碟看起來都還有空間

[InstallationError]
[Errno 28] No space left on device
vibs = VMware_bootbank_esx-base_6.7.0–3.89.15160138
Please refer to the log file for more details.

接著想說先把這個暫存檔刪掉

rm /tmp/vibdownload/VMware_bootbank_esx-base_6.7.0–3.89.15160138.vib

換安裝另一個版本看看

esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.7.0–8169922-standard -d https:
//hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml

結果遇到另外一個錯誤 XD

[InstallationError]
Failed to create ramdisk vibdownload

最後發現.. 把虛擬機都關掉就可以正常運作啦。

esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.7.0–8169922-standard -d https:
//hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml
