Hi,
have seen this a few times before and if i remember correctly it had to do with to little available disk space on the ESXi boot drive. Can you make sure you have enough available space on the boot device?

In reply to Kamal.

if you uploaded to /tmp folder the provided command should work “esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/scsi-hpsa-5.5.0.60-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820.x86_64.vib –no-sig-check”
What error do you get?

If you want to upload to a datastore you should use root@esxi-host:/vmfs/volumes/datastore-name

thanks

Hi Magnus,

First off thanks for the great response times love it!

I am using the command that you used in your post scp scsi-hpsa-5.5.0.60-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820.x86_64.vib root@ESXi-FQDN:/tmp

I have uploaded the file to the datastore from the vsphere client , in the root directory however this did not work, do i need to to edit the command to look somthing like this : scp scsi-hpsa-5.5.0.60-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820.x86_64.vib root@ESXi-FQDN:/datastore1 ??

When connected via SSH, I suppose i need to first copy the VIb file to the tmp folder ? if so what command is needed to complete this ?

Cheers, greatly appreciated.

In reply to Kamal.

you can browse datastore via vSphere Web Client or vSphere client and upload the file. Another option is to enable ssh and use pscp or scp for uploading the file.
What command are you using when trying to perform the installation ?

Hmm is anyone else having problems with the pictures on this blog loading?
I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog.
Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.

Usually I don’t read post on blogs, however I wish to say that this write-up very forced me to take a look at and do it!
Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thank you, very nice article.
