ESXi Update vib url 

ESXi Update vib url

ESXi is a type-1 hypervisor that allows several operating systems to be virtualized on a single physical host. It is critical to routinely check for and install updates.

This includes VMware Installation Bundles (VIBs), which contain drivers, software packages, and other components necessary for the hypervisor to work properly.

We can use the following procedures to update a VIB on an ESXi host:

  1. Firstly, download the VIB file from the vendor’s or VMware’s websites.
  2. After that, upload the VIB file to a place that the ESXi host can access.
  3. This might be a shared network location or a web server that supports HTTP or HTTPS.
  4. After that, open an SSH session with a client like PuTTY to the ESXi host.
  5. To install the VIB, use the esxcli command in conjunction with the software and vib subcommands. This command’s syntax is as follows:

    esxcli software vib update -v VIB_URL

    We have to replace the VIB URL with the URL of the VIB file that we submitted in step 2. If the VIB is kept on the local file system, this can be an HTTP or HTTPS URL, or a file URL.

  6. Finally, after completing the VIB installation, restart the ESXi host to ensure that the modifications take effect.

Before upgrading any VIB on an ESXi host, we must carefully study the vendor documentation to confirm that the update is acceptable for the environment and will not create any compatibility or stability issues.

It is also advised that VIB upgrades be tested in a non-production environment before deploying them in a production environment.
