wikiUpdate VMware ESXi
Updates for VMware ESXi can be easily installed via the command line, even for the free version of the ESXi hypervisor. In this example, we explain how to install updates via command line using VMware ESXi 6.7.[1]
Download updates
In the following knowledge base article about VMware, you will find information on how to download the updates that are currently available for your system:
-
Download available updates from VMware.
Load updates to EXSi host
In the next step, load the updates to the ESXi host. This is, for example, possible by using the datastore browser in the vSphere web client.
-
Open datastore browser. -
Create new directory. -
Click on upload and select files. -
Files have been uploaded.
Install updates on the command line
Activate the SSH shell in the web client, stop or migrate all virtual machines and put the host into maintenance mode:
[root@localhost:~] vim-cmd hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter
Next, install the updates on the esxcli command as follows:
[root@localhost:~] esxcli software vib update -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/updates/ESXi670-201806001.zip Installation Result Message: The update completed successfully, but the system needs to be rebooted for the changes to be effective.
