Unable to upgrade esxi to 6.5u2 due to dependency issue

0

I am receiving the error message below when trying to upgrade from 6.5 to 6.5U2 via escli. I have tried the upgrade process with the auto download and have tried downloading the zip file to the datastore.

[DependencyError] VIB VMware_locker_tools-light_10.3.2.9925305-10176879 requires esx-version >= 6 .6.0, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile.

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? I can not go to 6.7 due to processor incompatibility

  1. Remove tools-light:

    esxcli software vib remove --vibname=tools-light

  2. Then you can upgrade to the latest 6.5.

Thanks, that solved the issue. Removed tools-light and was able to upgrade normally through esxcli – user26159 – 2019-02-05T15:51:23.057
