Procedure

1 Retrieve the acceptance level for the VIB or image profile.

Option Description

List information for all VIBs

esxcli --server=server_name software sources vib list --

depot=depot_URL

List information for a specified VIB

esxcli --server=server_name software sources vib list --

viburl=vib_URL

List information for all image

profiles

esxcli --server=server_name software sources profile list

--depot=depot_URL

List information for a specified

image profile

esxcli --server=server_name software sources profile get --

depot=depot_URL --profile=profile_name

2 Retrieve the host acceptance level.

esxcli --server=server_name software acceptance get

3 (Optional) If the acceptance level of the VIB is more restrictive than the acceptance level of the host,

change the acceptance level of the host.

esxcli --server=server_name software acceptance set --level=acceptance_level

The acceptance_level can be VMwareCertified, VMwareAccepted, PartnerSupported, or

CommunitySupported. The values for acceptance_level are case-sensitive.

NOTE You can use the --force option for the esxcli software vib or esxcli software profile

command to add a VIB or image profile with a lower acceptance level than the host. A warning will

appear. Because your setup is no longer consistent, the warning is repeated when you install VIBs,

remove VIBs, and perform certain other operations on the host.

Determine Whether an Update Requires the Host to Be in Maintenance Mode or to

Be Rebooted

VIBs that you can install with live install do not require the host to be rebooted, but might require the host

to be placed in maintenance mode. Other VIBs and profiles might require the host to be rebooted after the

installation or update.

When you specify a target server by using --server=server_name in the procedure, the specified server

prompts you for a user name and password. Other connection options, such as a configuration file or

session file, are supported. For a list of connection options, see Getting Started with vSphere Command-Line

Interfaces, or run esxcli --help at the vCLI command prompt.

Prerequisites

Install vCLI or deploy the vSphere Management Assistant (vMA) virtual machine. See Getting Started with

vSphere Command-Line Interfaces. For troubleshooting, run esxcli commands in the ESXi Shell.
