I rebooted the ESXi host and then tried installing the update again but that did not fix the issue. Recently, I was updating my ESXi hosts from ESXi 6.5 U2 to ESXi 6.5 U3 and one of the host failed with error – Broken pipe vibs = VMware_locker_tools-light_6.5.0-314įrom VMware release note, I knew that this patch have an updated version of VMware tools, therefore I kind of ignored the error and run the command to apply the patch again, this time I got another error – Error in purging old directory: No such file or directory: ‘/locker/packages/var/db/locker/vibs’
I usually update my ESXi hosts using zip package customized by dell since the underlying hardware is from Dell.
