In vSphere 7.x, the Update Manager plug-in, used for administering vSphere Update Manager, is replaced with the Lifecycle Manager plug-in. Administrative operations for vSphere Update Manager are still available under the Lifecycle Manager plug-in, along with new capabilities for vSphere Lifecycle Manager. The typical way to apply patches to ESXi 7.x hosts is by using the vSphere Lifecycle Manager. For details, see About vSphere Lifecycle Manager and vSphere Lifecycle Manager Baselines and Images. You can also update ESXi hosts without using the Lifecycle Manager plug-in, and use an image profile instead. To do this, you must manually download the patch offline bundle ZIP file from VMware Customer Connect. From the Select a Product drop-down menu, select ESXi (Embedded and Installable) and from the Select a Version drop-down menu, select 7.0. For more information, see the Upgrading Hosts by Using ESXCLI Commands and the VMware ESXi Upgrade guide.
Vmware Esx 3.5 Patch Download
The copyright statements and licenses applicable to the open source software components distributed in vSphere 7.0 are available at You need to log in to your My VMware account. Then, from the Downloads menu, select vSphere. On the Open Source tab, you can also download the source files for any GPL, LGPL, or other similar licenses that require the source code or modifications to source code to be made available for the most recent available release of vSphere.
The ESXi and esx-update bulletins are dependent on each other. Always include both in a single ESXi host patch baseline or include the rollup bulletin in the baseline to avoid failure during host patching. Updates the esx-dvfilter-generic-fastpath, vsanhealth, vdfs, vsan, esx-base, crx, native-misc-drivers, esx-xserver, gc, bmcal, esxio-combiner, trx and cpu-microcode VIBs to resolve the following issues:
If you attempt to update your environment to 7.0 Update 2 from an earlier version of ESXi 7.0 by using vSphere Lifecycle Manager patch baselines, UEFI booting of ESXi hosts might stop with an error such as: Loading /boot.cfg Failed to load crypto64.efi Fatal error: 15 (Not found)
After you upgrade to ESXi 7.0 Update 2, if you check vSphere Quick Boot compatibility of your environment by using the /usr/lib/vmware/loadesx/bin/loadESXCheckCompat.py command, you might see some warning messages for missing VIBs in the shell. For example: Cannot find VIB(s) ... in the given VIB collection. Ignoring missing reserved VIB(s) ..., they are removed from reserved VIB IDs. Such warnings do not indicate a compatibility issue.
Migration of vCenter Server for Windows to vCenter Server appliance 7.0 fails with the error message IP already exists in the network. This prevents the migration process from configuring the network parameters on the new vCenter Server appliance. For more information, examine the log file: /var/log/vmware/upgrade/UpgradeRunner.log
When you perform group migration operations on VMs with multiple disks and multi-level snapshots, the operations might fail with the error com.vmware.vc.GenericVmConfigFault Failed waiting for data. Error 195887167. Connection closed by remote host, possibly due to timeout.
In earlier releases of vCenter Server you could configure independent proxy settings for vCenter Server and vSphere Update Manager. After an upgrade to vSphere 7.0, vSphere Update Manager service becomes part of the vSphere Lifecycle Manager service. For the vSphere Lifecycle Manager service, the proxy settings are configured from the vCenter Server appliance settings. If you had configured Update Manager to download patch updates from the Internet through a proxy server but the vCenter Server appliance had no proxy setting configuration, after a vCenter Server upgrade to version 7.0, the vSphere Lifecycle Manager fails to connect to the VMware depot and is unable to download patches or updates.
Some settings in the VMware config file /etc/vmware/config are not managed by Host Profiles and are blocked, when the config file is modified. As a result, when the host profile is applied to a cluster, the EVC settings are lost, which causes loss of EVC functionalities. For example, unmasked CPUs can be exposed to workloads.
The typical way to apply patches to ESXi hosts is by using the VMware vSphere Update Manager. For details, see the About Installing and Administering VMware vSphere Update Manager. ESXi hosts can be updated by manually downloading the patch ZIP file from VMware Customer Connect. From the Select a Product drop-down menu, select ESXi (Embedded and Installable) and from the Select a Version drop-down menu, select 6.7.0. Install VIBs by using the esxcli software vib update command. Additionally, you can update the system by using the image profile and the esxcli software profile update command.

In rare cases, some Intel CPUs might fail to forward #DB traps and if a timer interrupt happens during the Windows system call, virtual machine might triple fault. In the vmware.log file, you see an error such as msg.monitorEvent.tripleFault. This issue is not consistent and virtual machines that consistently triple fault or triple fault after boot are impacted by another issue.
Workaround: To patch your system to vCenter Server 6.7 Update 1 from earlier versions of vCenter Server 6.7, you must remove vCenter Server High Availability and delete passive and witness nodes. After the upgrade, you must re-create your vCenter Server High Availability clusters.
This message is generated when the vCenter Server Appliance searches for and fails to find a patch or update. No functionality is impacted by this issue. This issue will be resolved with the release of the first patch for vSphere 6.7.
The Virtual Appliance Management Interface might display a 0- message or a blank page during patching from vCenter Server 6.7 to later versions, if calls from the interface fail to reach the back end applmgmt service. You might also see the message Unable to get historical data import status. Check Server Status.
If you install or use for upgrade only VMware vCenter Server 6.7 Update 1, but do not apply ESXi 6.7 Update 1, and if you configure or reconfigure per-VM EVC, virtual machines on unpatched hosts might fail to power on. You might also see the issue if you enable cluster-level EVC and even one of the hosts in the cluster is not patched with the latest update. The new CPU IDs of that cluster might not be available on the cluster. In such a cluster, if you configure or reconfigure per-VM EVC, virtual machines might fail to power on.
