[What’s the issue?]
Issue1: Attach baseline in update manager for ESX4 Update 1 upgrade, after scan, it shows “incompatible” and cannot remediate
Issue2: After get CMD update solution, ESX servers vmse1esx167 and vmse1esx168 have been updated successfully, but vmse1esx166 cannot be updated due to a foreign package.
[What’s the root cause?]
Issue1: ESX4 -> ESX4 Update1 is not a upgrade, so we cannot use update manager or host upgrade utility to upgrade it. Actually we need to consider it as a patch update.
Issue2: ESX vmse1esx166 has installed a custom package “cross_cisco-vem-v110-esx_4.0.4.1.2.0.80-0.4.179” for Cisco Nexus 1000v, and this results update fail.
[What’s the solution?]
Issue1:
Download zip package for command line update
ESX4 Update1:
ESX4i Update1:
Upload the package to a web server and extract it in www directory
E.g. or
Put target ESX server to “Maintenance mode”
Execute following command in target ESX4 server:
ESX4:
#esxupdate -m scan
#esxupdate -m update
ESX4i:
#esxupdate -m scan
#esxupdate -m update
After done, we need to reboot the ESX server to activate the new version.
