Hej gott folk/Hi good people!
I been having som issues trying to update my esxi 5.0 to the latest patch. But when I try running the command i get several errors that doesn´t look all to good. Thought that one of you clever guys in here could help me out!
So I uploaded the file to the datastore and when i try to run it, this happends:
/vmfs/volumes/4ed5dd40-15d814e3-e944-001e67260a22 # esxcli software vib update --depot=/vmfs/volumes/Datastore/update-from-esxi5.0-5.0_update01.zip

Please refer to the log file for more details.
---------------------------------------------
And then i thought I would check my log files, which looked like this:
/var/log # ls
auth.log hostd.log syslog.log vmkwarning.log
boot.gz hostprofiletrace.log usb.log vmware
configRP.log ipmi vmauthd.log vobd.log
dhclient.log shell.log vmkdevmgr.log vprobed.log
esxcli.log smbios.bin vmkernel.log vpxa.log
esxupdate.log storagerm.log vmkeventd.log
fdm.log sysboot.log vmksummary.log
/var/log # esxcli.log
sh: esxcli.log: not found
-------------------------------------------------
I´m getting a feeling that something is seriously wrong with my machine... I been searching the world wide web (haha) but only found one discussion about esxcli failing and with other error messages.. I can´t surely be the first one..? Help is much appreciated as I need to patch to the latest version.. :/
Have a good day!
