command not found

[dquevillon]

Hello, 

I just recently upgraded my VCSA from 6.5 to 6.7 U 3m, I am trying to patch it to U 3n because security issue.

i log into the shell with root and whatever command i try it alwasy fail stating that command not found.

i did the su ~ to no avail

it probably is a super easy think but i am not very versed in shell command so any help sould be apreciated.

here is the command tried and the output for reference

root@xxxxxxxxx [ ~ ]# software-packages stage --iso
bash: software-packages: command not found

Seconding this. I'm working with a system administrator who is having a similar problem, and I'm not entirely sure what's causing it. It doesn't help that I can't touch or log into the server myself, I can only see screenshots he shares with me.

Can anyone think of what might be causing this?

The software packages command failed for me, too. I had already run the shell.set and shell commands to enable the bash shell.

The update commands have to be entered in the appliance shell, not in a bash shell (https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2100508).

Thanks. Switching back to the appliance shell worked.

Run them in the appliance shell and not in a bash shell.
Run this from bash : chsh -s /bin/appliancesh root
Restart the SSH session to VCSA. You will reach the Appliance Shell.
Run software-packages from here.

Thanks, Ajay. Switching back to the appliance shell fixed the command.
