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.

NOTE Options to the update and install commands allow you to perform a dry run, to specify a specific

VIB, to bypass acceptance level verification, and so on. Do not bypass verification on production systems.

See the vSphere Command-Line Interface Reference.

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.

Determine whether the update requires the host to be in maintenance mode or to be rebooted. If

necessary, place the host in maintenance mode.

See “Determine Whether an Update Requires the Host to Be in Maintenance Mode or to Be Rebooted,”

on page 203. See “Place a Host in Maintenance Mode,” on page 204.

If the update requires a reboot, and if the host belongs to a VMware HA cluster, remove the host from

the cluster or disable HA on the cluster.

Procedure

1 Determine which VIBs are installed on the host.

esxcli --server=server_name software vib list

2 Determine which image profiles are available in the depot.

esxcli --server=server_name software sources profile list --depot=http://webserver/depot_name

You can specify a proxy server by using the --proxy argument.

3 Update the existing image profile to include the VIBs or install new VIBs.

IMPORTANT The software profile update command updates existing VIBS with the corresponding

VIBs from the specified profile, but does not affect other VIBs installed on the target server. The

software profile install command installs the VIBs present in the depot image profile, and removes

any other VIBS installed on the target server.

Option Description

Update the image profile from a

VMware-supplied zip bundle, in a

depot, accessible online from the

VMware Web site or downloaded to

a local depot.

esxcli software profile update --depot=depot_location --

profile=profile_name

IMPORTANT This is the only update method that VMware supports for zip

bundles supplied by VMware.

VMware-supplied zip bundle names take the form:

VMware-ESXi-5.5.x-build_number-depot.zip

The profile name for VMware-supplied ziip bundles takes one of the

following forms.

ESXi-5.5.x-build_number-standard

ESXi-5.5.x-build_number-notools (does not include VMware

Tools)

Update the image profile from a

depot accessible by URL

esxcli --server=server_name software profile update --

depot=http://webserver/depot_name --profile=profile_name

Update the image profile from ZIP

file stored locally on the target

server

esxcli --server=server_name software profile update --

depot=file:///<path_to_profile_ZIP_file>/<profile_ZIP_file>

--profile=profile_name
