DependencyError while Update Patch

Hey,

When I try to update patch to ESXi 6.5 I got this error:

How can I fix this error?

Thanks

Try with -f option at the end and check if it works.

But if I will do -f (force) something will goes wrong with my network?

my dependencies are about nics.

It looks like you're updating an installation that contains OEM drivers but the source you are using for the update does not contain those drivers. Maybe the hosts were installed with a specific OEM image (i.e. Dell).

I think you have two options:

1. Remove the drivers and retry the update (but this could severely impact your host if the drivers are needed).
2. Update using a source that contains those drivers.

where I can find exactly this Patch with OEM drivers?

I mean a source that contains those drivers and patch that I need?

For more information about updating your host using the command line: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2008939.

In the article you can see that the command line for patching is esxcli software vib update. You could use esxcli software profile but then you have to do some extra stuff... Please read https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.5/com.vmware.vsphere.upgrade.doc/GUID-E51C5DB6-F28E-42E8-ACA4-0EBDD11DF55D.html for detailed instructions. From this article:

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

So your problem is that the profile does not contain your VIBs.
