ESXi离线升级方法

1、到官方补丁页面，根据需要下载升级包：https://customerconnect.vmware.com/cn/patch

2、将升级包上传至esxi数据存储磁盘，一般建议直接放到datastore1的根目录

3、打开ESXi 的ssh 服务，ssh登录esxi

4、进入维护模式，有两种方法（两种方法都需要先将所有的虚拟机关掉才可执行）：

1）在web界面，左边菜单导航器选择主机，右边找到“操作”图标，点击【操作】-【进入维护模式】

2）ssh下执行：

vim-cmd hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter

5、检查ESXi 当前版本：

vmware -vl

结果输出一般会显示两行，显示的为你的当前版本

VMware ESXi 7.0.3 build-20842708

VMware ESXi 7.0 Update 3

6、 使用命令 esxcli software sources profile list -d /文件路径/升级包文件名.zip 查看升级包中可用的更新，如：

esxcli software sources profile list -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/VMware-ESXi-7.0U3c-19193900-depot.zip

其中ESXi-7.0U3c-19193900-depot.zip为你刚刚上传的esxi升级包的文件名。

执行结果：

Name                           Vendor        Acceptance Level  Creation Time        Modification Time

-----------------------------  ------------  ----------------  -------------------  -----------------

ESXi-7.0U3c-19193900-standard  VMware, Inc.  PartnerSupported  2022-01-18T00:00:00  2022-01-18T00:00:00

ESXi-7.0U3c-19193900-no-tools  VMware, Inc.  PartnerSupported  2022-01-18T00:00:00  2022-01-12T00:03:42

可以看到升级包含有两个更新，ESXi-7.0U3c-19193900-no-tools和ESXi-7.0U3c-19193900-standard ，这里我们用到ESXi-7.0U3c-19193900-standard，复制后一个名字，下一步升级时使用。

7、开始升级，命令如下：

esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-7.0U3c-19193900-standard -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/VMware-ESXi-7.0U3c-19193900-depot.zip

8、命行执行完毕后，会有类似如下的提示。
