Dear all,
I am trying to update my ESXi install from the command line. But fail with the following error:
Failed to setup upgrade using esx-update VIB: ('VMware_bootbank_esx-update_6.7.0-3.116.16713306', 'Could not find a trusted signer: certificate is not yet valid')
Command used:
esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.7.0-20200804001-standard -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml
From this article I understand that I should update gradually: VMware Knowledge Base
However, I have tried virtually any built, without success...
Also, offline update does not work either:
esxcli software profile update -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/VMware-ESXi-7.0.0-16324942-depot.zip -p ESXi-7.0.0-16324942-standard
I also tried this, without succes:
esxcli software acceptance set --level=CommunitySupported
Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix this?
Thanks! J
