Problem: HBA Firmware update on ESXI host
Resolution:
1. Copy the firmware update offline bundle to a location where you can access during the process
2. Current location: Jumpbox E:\Nawal\OfflineBundle\HBA_Firmware (copy all the folders)
3. Start the VMWare vCLI (if you have not added the path to your env variable then go to command line and go to the vCLI folder, default location à C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin)
4. Put the host in maintenance mode before and take it out after it is done
5. Run the following command: C:\Users\Nawal>vihostupdate.pl –server esxi01.domain.local –install –bundle C:\OfflineBundle\HBA_Firmware\offile-bundle\841.k1.58.1-1vmw-offile_bundle-1053111.zip
It will ask for credentials. Login as host root
It will show you the progress and it will show you it was successful (requires reboot)
After reboot, SSH to the host and run this command to confirm the version (Case sensitive)
