该文详细阐述了VCSA(VCenterServerAppliance)和ESXi主机的升级过程，包括使用ISO镜像或URL下载升级包，验证、安装升级包，以及重启系统等步骤。在VCSA升级中，需通过Upgrade方式并使用特定命令来执行。而在ESXi升级时，需从VMwareCustomerConnect下载补丁，检查当前版本，选择合适的升级profile，并可能需要处理签名检查和依赖问题。
1. VCSA升级步骤
注：如果VCSA大版本升级，需要使用VCSA安装介质的安装界面中的“Upgrade”方式来升级。
1）指定升级包的位置
software-packages stage --iso (如果是从vmware下载补丁，使用CD/DVD来映射ISO映像)
或
software-packages stage --url https://vapp-updates.vmware.com/vai-catalog/valm/vmw/8d167796-34d5-4899-be0a-6daade4005a3/6.7.0.20000.latest/ （示例的url是software-packages stage --help输出中显示的url，可以根据KB 2143838来找到目标版本号，如6.7.0.54000，然后将链接中的版本号更改为目标版本号，就可以通过官网下载升级）
2）列出指定的升级包的信息
使用ISO的输出:

4）重启VCSA
shutdown reboot -r updating
5）查看升级后的版本
# vpxd -vl
VMware VirtualCenter 6.7.0 build-20504362
2. ESXi主机升级步骤
1）从VMware Customer Connect（https://customerconnect.vmware.com/patch）下载补丁：
From the Select a Product drop-down menu, select ESXi (Embedded and Installable) and from the Select a Version drop-down menu, select 6.7.0.
2）查看当前ESXi版本：
vmware -v
VMware ESXi 6.7.0 build-8169922
3）查看补丁包的profile：
esxcli software sources profile list --depot=/vmfs/volumes/64403533-062bfea6-ba42-801844e0f58e/ISO/ESXi670-202210001.zip
Name Vendor Acceptance Level Creation Time Modification Time
-------------------------------- ------------ ---------------- ------------------- -------------------
ESXi-6.7.0-20221004001-standard VMware, Inc. PartnerSupported 2022-09-21T13:36:44 2022-09-21T13:36:44
ESXi-6.7.0-20221001001s-standard VMware, Inc. PartnerSupported 2022-09-21T13:36:44 2022-09-21T13:36:44
ESXi-6.7.0-20221004001-no-tools VMware, Inc. PartnerSupported 2022-09-21T13:36:44 2022-09-21T13:36:44
ESXi-6.7.0-20221001001s-no-tools VMware, Inc. PartnerSupported 2022-09-21T13:36:44 2022-09-21T13:36:44
4）升级补丁：
esxcli software profile update --depot=/vmfs/volumes/64403533-062bfea6-ba42-801844e0f58e/ISO/ESXi670-202210001.zip --profile=ESXi-6.7.0-20221004001-standard
注1：如果报以下的’Could not find a trusted signer.'的错误：
[InstallationError]
(‘VMW_bootbank_net-vmxnet3_1.1.3.0-3vmw.670.3.104.16075168’, ‘Could not find a trusted signer.’)
vibs = VMW_bootbank_net-vmxnet3_1.1.3.0-3vmw.670.3.104.16075168
Please refer to the log file for more details.
则在升级命令中加上–no-sig-check的参数，如“ esxcli software profile update --no-sig-check --depot=/vmfs/volumes/5d41147d-0ddc9eaf-fac2-000423b3bd4e/ISO/ESXi670-202210001.zip --profile=ESXi-6.7.0-20221004001-standard”。
注2：如果ESXi是OEM的版本，使用profile update升级可能会报以下错误，提示依赖错误：
[DependencyError]
VIB DEL_bootbank_dell-configuration-vib_6.5-3A06 requires esx-version << 6.7.0, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile
此时可以通过install命令来升级ESXi，但是同时会移除掉OEM相关的VIB（或者手工使用命令esxcli software vib remove -n先删除这些VIB，然后再执行以上的profile update升级），如果确实需要这些VIB，那么需要在升级完成后再单独安装这些VIB。
[Exception]
You attempted to install an image profile which would have resulted in the removal of VIBs ['QLC_bootbank_qedf_1.3.42.50-1OEM.600.0.0.2768847', 'VMware_bootbank_vmware-fdm_6.7.0-20540798', 'QLC_bootbank_nqlcnic_6.0.63-1OEM.650.0.0.4240417', 'INT_bootbank_net-i40e_2.0.7-1OEM.600.0.0.2494585', 'QLC_bootbank_qedrntv_3.11.16.0-1OEM.650.0.0.4598673', 'DEL_bootbank_dell-configuration-vib_6.5-3A06', 'QLC_bootbank_scsi-qedil_1.15.15.0-1OEM.600.0.0.2494585', 'DellEMC_bootbank_dellemc-osname-idrac_6.5-2A00', 'Avago_bootbank_dell-shared-perc8_06.806.90.00-1OEM.650.0.0.4598673']. If this is not what you intended, you may use the esxcli software profile update command to preserve the VIBs above. If this is what you intended, please use the --ok-to-remove option to explicitly allow the removal.
Please refer to the log file for more details.
(esxcli software profile install --depot /vmfs/volumes/vsan:52f1a69c8cad0934-cad95119a5007d0a/51856464-14b8-43d0-b71e-e41f13b5e440/ESXi670-202210001.zip --profile=ESXi-6.7.0-20221004001-standard --ok-to-remove)
5）重启ESXi主机
esxcli system maintenanceMode set -e true -m noAction
esxcli system shutdown reboot -r “reboot”
6）查看升级后的ESXi版本：
vmware -v
VMware ESXi 6.7.0 build-20497097
esxcli system version get
附：升级到7.0.3命令：
esxcli software vib remove -n net55-r8168
esxcli software vib remove -n vmkusb
esxcli software vib list
esxcli software sources profile list --depot=/vmfs/volumes/64403533-062bfea6-ba42-801844e0f58e/ISO/vmware-esxi-7.0u3m-21686933-depot.zip
esxcli software profile update --depot=/vmfs/volumes/64403533-062bfea6-ba42-801844e0f58e/ISO/vmware-esxi-7.0u3m-21686933-depot.zip --profile=ESXi-7.0U3m-21686933-standard
升级到8.0.1命令：
esxcli software vib remove -n ipmitool (does not have sha-256 gunzip checksum)
esxcli software vib list
esxcli software sources profile list --depot=/vmfs/volumes/64403533-062bfea6-ba42-801844e0f58e/ISO/VMware-ESXi-8.0U1-21495797-depot.zip
esxcli software profile update --depot=/vmfs/volumes/64403533-062bfea6-ba42-801844e0f58e/ISO/VMware-ESXi-8.0U1-21495797-depot.zip --profile=ESXi-8.0U1-21495797-standard --no-hardware-warning
