Hi users,
I should update a vsphere HP proliant 460 blade host, 6.0 installed with hp custom image: Build 6765062.
The latest hp custom image I found on vmware website is ESXi 6.0 Update 3, HPE Custom Image for VMware ESXi 6.0 U3 Install CD.
VMware-ESXi-6.0.0-Update3-13635687-HPE-Gen9plus-600.10.4.5.15-Sep2019.iso Release Date: 2019-09-09
on the same page I found also offline bundle
VMware-ESXi-6.0.0-Update3-13635687-HPE-Gen9plus-600.10.4.5.15-Sep2019-depot.zip Release Date: 2019-09-09
Question before update:
Is it correct that I can proceed in two ways?:
1) shut down all VMs, Enter in mantenace mode, restart host with boot 6.0U3 boot CD and follow istruction.
or
2) shut down all VMs, Enter in mantenace mode, copy VMware-ESXi-6.0.0-Update3-13635687-HPE-Gen9plus-600.10.4.5.15-Sep2019-depot.zip on a folder in datastore, and then launch command: esxcli software vib install -d /vmfs/volumes/MyDatastoreID/patchrepository/VMware-ESXi-6.0.0-Update3-13635687-HPE-Gen9plus-600.10.4.5.15-Sep2019-depot.zip
I would point to second way because on proliant blade I should attach a virtual image or burn a CD.
Is it correct?
ps: Then, could I apply the latest VMware patch ESXi600-202002001 build 15517548 released on february 2020, even if hypervisor is HP customized?
Or do I have to waith an hp patch?
Thank you
