Then upload the patch package. We recommend that you upload it on the client interface. First, you can create a new update directory and then put the patch package into it.

Find the patch path under the command line

BOOT RAID1 is the name of the memory I named. The following is a patch package in the newly created update directory.

Then copy the absolute path of the patch package.

~ # Esxcli software vib update-d =/vmfs/volumes/BOOT \ RAID1/update/ESXi550-201312001.zip -- dry-run

Follow up with -- dry-run to test run. You can check the new functions after Update and whether an error is reported.

~ # Esxcli software vib update-d =/vmfs/volumes/BOOT \ RAID1/update/ESXi550-201312001.zip

Official upgrade: the upgrade takes several minutes. After the upgrade, restart the ESXi host and exit the maintenance mode.

~ # Esxcli system shutdown reboot-r

Restart under command line
