There are plenty of features to get excited about in the newly released vSphere 6.7, so without further ado, let’s get busy!
Step 1 – Install Media
We’ll need to download the VMware-ESXi-6.7.0-8169922-depot.zip from VMware ESXi 6.7 page and upload it to datastore.
Step 2 – Upgrading
2.1 Let’s confirm our ESXi version by SSH into the host:
[root@esxi02:~] vmware -vl VMware ESXi 6.5.0 build-7967591 VMware ESXi 6.5.0 Update 1
2.2 Next we need to find the profile name of 6.7, for this we execute:
esxcli software sources profile list -d /vmfs/volumes/58b85632-ee7f225a-c83d-e4115bf1a352/VMware-ESXi-6.7.0-8169922-depot.zip
2.3 Which will provide us with the following results:
Name Vendor Acceptance Level --------------------------- ------------ ---------------- ESXi-6.7.0-8169922-standard VMware, Inc. PartnerSupported ESXi-6.7.0-8169922-no-tools VMware, Inc. PartnerSupported
2.4 Now that we have our profile names we’ll be updating our vSphere environment:
esxcli software profile update -d /vmfs/volumes/58b85632-ee7f225a-c83d-e4115bf1a352/VMware-ESXi-6.7.0-8169922-depot.zip -p ESXi-6.7.0-8169922-standard
Step 3 – Confirmation
SSH back into the host after the restart and re-execute vmware -vl:
[root@esxi02:~] vmware -vl VMware ESXi 6.7.0 build-8169922 VMware ESXi 6.7.0 GA





works perfectly, thank you very much
