  • 1.  exporting installed vib from host

    Posted Jun 25, 2017 10:48 AM

    An ESXi 5.5 host has a vib installed which i can see in the output of the esxcli software vib list command that I need to try installing on a 6.0 host.  I no longer have the original zip file that was used to install the vib.  What options are there for extracting it from the old host for installation on the new host?  Thanks

    Rather exporting the vibs from existing host, you may download offline bundle from vmware download site and compare that with existing host. for missing drivers you can search and download them separately.

    Once you have all the vibs, you may use image builder to create an iso.
