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

Install the ZIP file.

esxcli --server=server_name software vib update --depot=/path_to_vib_ZIP/ZIP_file_name.zip

Remove VIBs from a Host

You can uninstall third-party VIBs or VMware VIBs from your ESXi host.

VMware partners prepare third-party VIBs to provide management agents or asynchronously released

drivers.

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.

Prerequisites

If the removal requires a reboot, and if the host belongs to a VMware HA cluster, disable HA for the

host.

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.

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.

Procedure

1 Run one of the following commands for each virtual machine to power off all virtual machines running

on the ESXi host.

Option Command

To have the system try to shut

down the guest operating system

vmware-cmd --server=server_name path_to_vm stop soft

To force the power off operation

vmware-cmd --server=server_name path_to_vm stop hard

Alternatively, to avoid powering off virtual machines, you can migrate them to another host. See the

topic Migrating Virtual Machines in the vCenter Server and Host Management documentation.

2 Place the host in maintenance mode.

vicfg-hostops --server=server_name --operation enter

3 If necessary, shut down or migrate virtual machines.

4 Determine which VIBs are installed on the host.

esxcli --server=server_name software vib list

5 Remove the VIB.

esxcli --server=server_name software vib remove --vibname=name

Specify one or more VIBs to remove in one of the following forms:

name

name:version
