vSphere 6.7 - How to upgrade VMware ESXi 6.5 to ESXi 6.7

In this tutorial, I guide you through upgrading VMware ESXi 6.5 to ESXi 6.7.

My lab contains 2 x ESXi 6.5 Update 2 hosts. The first host I will be upgrading via Update Manager, the second host I show you how to upgrade via the CLI.

Within this lab I use Putty and WinSCP - Download Links below:

The VUM / Host Profile method work great! Used the Flash interface, so you had to click in a few different places, but all in all worked like a charm!

I wish I could like this more than once. Thanks for such a useful video. You saved me so much time. The only improvement I can think of is going over what to do if you would add what to do if you run into VIB errors.

I don't understand why 5 people put a thumb down. Your video is still very helpful, even if I'm at version 7.0. Thanks!

-p on the esxcli command stands for profile name, just in case someone is trying to deploy a custom profile that they have named differently

Muy buenos videos y muy bien explicados

¡¡¡Great Job!!!!

You should have a list of the commands in the Notes. That way users can copy and paste and easier to read. Thank you for this guide!

This works well except for my older Dell PowerEdge R620s running ESXi on mirrored 1GB SD cards. There is not enough room to copy 6.7 .iso to the upgrade target so it fails and I am left having to use a disc for the upgrade. The 6.5-6.7 upgrades on newer servers went very quickly.

Great video, thank you! When upgrading from 6.5 to 6.7, do you need to upgrade vCenter first before the ESXi servers?
