PROCEDIMENTOS

• Habilite o ssh via https
• Permita que o firewall do esxi possa fazer requisições http com o comando abaixo:

[simterm]# esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e true -r httpClient
[/simterm]

• Teste o comando antes de atualizar, irá mostrar os pacotes que serão atualizados:

[simterm]# esxcli software profile update -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml -p ESXi-6.7.0-8169922-standard –dry-run
[/simterm]
