This is a known issue affecting HP Proliant G9 servers that have been deployed with an HP ESXi 6.0 custom image.
Currently, there is no resolution.
To work around this issue, you must back out the patches by reverting to the previous state of the host, then reapply the patches in such a way as to update all but the
scsi-hpsa driver. For more information about reverting to a previous state of an ESXi host, see
Reverting to a previous version of ESXi (1033604).
After successfully reverting to the previous state of the ESXi host, re-apply the patches:
To re-apply
ESXi600-201504001,
ESXi600-201505001 and
ESXi600-201602001 :
- Log in to the ESXi host through SSH as the root user
- Run this command on each of patches ESXi600-201504001, ESXi600-201505001 and ESXi600-201602001:
esxcli software vib update -n esx-base -d /path/ESXi600-201xxxxxx.zip
where xxxxxx equals 504001, 505001 and 602001, successively.
To re-apply ESXi600-201507001:
- Log in to the ESXi host through SSH as the root user.
- Run this command:
esxcli software vib update -n esx-base -d /path/ESXi600-201507001.zip
esxcli software vib update -n tools-light -d /path/ESXi600-201507001.zip
These are driver related vibs. Apply these vibs according to your system environment.
esxcli software vib update -n misc-drivers -d /path/ESXi600-201507001.zip
esxcli software vib update -n scsi-bnx2i -d /path/ESXi600-201507001.zip
esxcli software vib update -n sata-ahci -d /path/ESXi600-201507001.zip
esxcli software vib update -n lsu-lsi-lsi-mr3-plugin -d /path/ESXi600-201507001.zip
esxcli software vib update -n lsu-lsi-megaraid-sas-plugin -d /path/ESXi600-201507001.zip
Note: These commands do not update the scsi-hpsa driver.
