    ESXi 6.7 fully patched

    Was trying to update an LSI driver and got the following message :

    esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/lsi-mr3-7.707.11.00-1OEM.

    670.0.0.8169922.x86_64.vib --no-sig-check

    [DependencyError]

    VIB Avago_bootbank_lsi-mr3_7.707.11.00-1OEM.670.0.0.8169922 requires vmkapi_2_5_0_0, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile.

    VIB VMware_locker_tools-light_10.2.0.7253323-8169922 requires esx-version >= 6.6.0, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile.

    Please refer to the log file for more details.

    Where do I find the updated vmkapi ?

    Thanks,

    Steve

    If you're trying to update an existing VIB, you're using the wrong command line. It should be esxcli software vib update -n file.vib

    Still no joy ... here are 2 examples

    esxcli software vib update -n /tmp/lsi-mr3-7.707.11.00-1OEM.670.0.0.8169922.x86_64.vib

    [Exception]

    Use of -n/--vibname requires use of -d/--depot.

    Please refer to the log file for more details.

    esxcli software vib update -v /tmp/lsi-mr3-7.707.11.00-1OEM.670.0.0.8169922.x86_64.vib --no-sig-check

    Try using -f (force) option inline to vib install command

    esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/lsi-mr3-7.707.11.00-1OEM.

    670.0.0.8169922.x86_64.vib  -f --no-sig-check
