Now place the host you want to upgrade into Maintenance Mode.

Upload the update-from-esxi6.5-6.5_update01.zip file to a datastore accessible by the host.

Download the ESXi 6.5 Update 1 offline bundle zip file.

Great when you have more than just a couple hosts or limited bandwidth. Using the offline bundle works similar in the way of the command line but saves you from having to download the upgrade bits for each VMware ESXi host. How to update ESXi 6.5 to 6.5 Update 1 using an Offline Bundle

Doesn’t hurt to also disable SSH when you’re done for security purposes.And finally, reboot the ESXi host to complete the upgrade.After the update has finished disable the HTTP firewall rule by typing: esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e false -r httpClient.Type the following command to download and upgrade to ESXi 6.5 U1 esxcli software profile update -d -p ESXi-6.5.0-20170702001-standard.Type the following command to open the firewall for outgoing HTTP requests: esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e true -r httpClient.Then SSH into the host using PuTTY (or any other SSH client/terminal).Place the host you are upgrading into Maintenance Mode.

If you’ve only have a couple ESXi hosts to upgrade, then using the command line method is a fast and easy way of doing so. How to update ESXi 6.5 to 6.5 Update 1 via command line Below I’ll show you three ways to upgrade your ESXi hosts to 6.5 Update 1. Yesterday I made a post on how to upgrade VMware VCSA 6.5 to 6.5 Update 1. Looking in the CLI or GUI will show that the snapshot is busy or snapmirror dependent.With the release of VMware vCenter 6.5 Update 1 also comes VMware ESXi 6.5 Update 1 and just like vCenter there are a number of changes, updates, and fixes for ESXi as well in 6.5 Update 1 – you can see the release notes here. However, rarely you may not be able to match up a destination to the snapshot that is hanging about. SOURCE:> snapmirror release -source-path SOURCE:vol1 -relationship-ID Once you’ve worked out the correct relationship-ID you can use the following command to delete the snapshot on the source: This will give you a list of destinations along with a relationship-ID (UUID). SOURCE::> snapmirror list-destinations -source-path SOURCE:vol1 If you do forget to use the option -delete-snapshots true you can then log into the source controller and type:

VMLABSTORAGE::> snapmirror break -source-path SOURCE:vol1 -destination-path VMLABSTORAGE:vol1 -delete-snapshots true VMLABSTORAGE::> snapmirror quiesce -source-path SOURCE:vol1 -destination-path VMLABSTORAGE:vol1 This happened quite a lot in 7-mode but much less in c-mode, however there still might be the need to remove a snapmirror snapshot that just won’t remove via a snapmirror break or release.įirstly the correct way to break a snapmirror and remove the snapshots on both source and destination is by typing:
