Applies to: SynetoOS 4.1.3 + its next versions
This will upgrade any current hypervisors to the latest Syneto VMware ESXi 6.5. The update requires the host to be rebooted.
Please ensure that you are using at least SynetoOS 4.1.3 before running this upgrade procedure. Having the latest SynetoOS is always recommended. Here are the steps:
Step 1. Clear old configuration for local.sh
echo "#!/bin/sh" > /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh echo "exit 0" >> /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh
Step 2. Browse to your deployment folder from local datastore: (Local datastore name may vary)
cd /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/deployment
Step 3. Modify firewall rules:
esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e true -r httpClient
Step 4. Set Intel drivers to native (when upgrading from older versions):
esxcli system module set --enabled=true --module=igbn
Step 5. Download latest version from our servers to local datastore:
wget -O esx-syneto-update.zip http://b26e8c3d695ed0fb0dee-bb969871c94ac78f108e561fc9f42b57.r19.cf5.rackcdn.com/SynetoOS/ESXi-Ugrade-Bundles/ESXi-6.5.0-20190702001-Syneto-v17.105-release.zip
Note: Please make sure that firewall/antivirus does not block/filter the connection.
Step 6. Update:
esxcli software vib install -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/deployment/esx-syneto-update.zip
Step 7. Check the output installation for a successful installation:
Installation Result Message: The update completed successfully, but the system needs to be rebooted for the changes to be effective. Reboot Required: true
Step 8. Change acceptance level
esxcli software acceptance set --level=PartnerSupported
Step 9. Reboot:
reboot
Final step. Check version after reboot:
esxcli system version get
Output should be:
Product: VMware ESXi Version: 6.5.0 Build: Releasebuild-13932383 Update: 3 Patch: 96
