Hey everyone,
I'm having an issue updating to ESXi 6.5 using VUM. VUM sees all of our hosts as non-compliant (not listing any conflicting VIBs) until I remediate. Once remediation starts, it will error saying there are conflicting VIBs but does not give the name of them. Upon inspecting the VUM log on the vCenter server, I've found the following:

It seems to retry this process and then gives a different VIB that is conflicting:

The thing is, I've already customized the ISO with the new Cisco VIB and it already contained an updated EHCI VIB. If I remove the Cisco VIB, it destroys networking, and removing the EHCI VIB has a ton of dependencies that would need to be removed as well, meaning I would have to update via the console instead of VUM. Thoughts?
