Hello,
I have a remote ESXi server which needs to be migrated from version 5.5 to version 6.0 using command line, and a version 6.0 depot (ESXi-6.0.0-2494585-standard-depot.zip)
My server is version VMware ESXi 5.5.0 build-2068190
Once i apply the command :
esxcli software vib update -d /vmfs/...../ESXi-6.0.0-2494585-standard-depot.zip
But i receive this message error:
[InstallationError]
There was an error checking file system on altbootbank, please see log for detail.
Please refer to the log file for more details.
When i check the /var/log/esxupdate.log i read these lines, which do not help too much:
