This is more of a note-to-self although it may come in handy for you guys also. This is for upgrading ESXI 5.0 to the
latest version.
# esxcli software sources profile list -d http://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml | grep -E "5.5" | grep standard
Get the list, choose one from above and then:
# esxcli software profile install -d http://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml -p ESXi-5.5.0-20160104001-standard --ok-to-remove
Now it has been updated we just need to reboot. Some people have had to apply the patch below, but I did not. You can try this
without but it is a patch for the network card, to go from 5.5 to 6.0. I have not done much research on this just saw it posted.
# esxcli software acceptance set --level=CommunitySupported
# esxcli software vib install -v http://files.v-front.de/net-e1001e-1.0.0.x86_64.vib
Once you have or have not done the above patch, reboot
# reboot
And then repeat the process for getting to 6.0 🙂
