Upgrading ESXi to 6.7.0-20190402001 on a HP DL380 Gen7 server

Apr 19, 2019 · Comments
VMWare

Upgrading

HP DL380 Gen7 is not an supported hardware for running VMWare vSphere 6.7, but I currently do in my own home lab and it works good enough for that purpose. Last updates on the other hand has started to give explicit warnings.

[HardwareError]
 Hardware precheck of profile ESXi-6.7.0-20190402001-standard failed with warnings: <CPU_SUPPORT WARNING: The CPU in this host may not be supported in future ESXi releases. Please plan accordingly.>

 Apply --no-hardware-warning option to ignore the warnings and proceed with the transaction.
 Please refer to the log file for more details.

So if you still want to upgrade you have to add ‘–no-hardware-warning’ to the esxcli command like the following to update ESXi to the the latest update ’esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.7.0-20190402001-standard -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml --no-hardware-warning’.

[root@esx01:~] esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.7.0-20190402001-standard -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml --no-hardware-warning
