VMware ESXi 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5 VIB Installation Instructions

VMware uses a file package called a VIB (VMware Installation Bundle) as the
mechanism for installing or upgrading software packages on an ESXi server.

The file may be installed directly on an ESXi server from the command line, or
through the VMware Update Manager (VUM).


COMMAND LINE INSTALLATION

New Installation
----------------

For new installs, you should perform the following steps:

	1. Copy the VIB or offline bundle to the ESXi server.  Technically, you can
           place the file anywhere that is accessible to the ESXi console shell,
           but for these instructions, we'll assume the location is in '/tmp'.

           Here's an example of using the Linux 'scp' utility to copy the file
           from a local system to an ESXi server located at 10.10.10.10:
             scp synonfs-vaai-plugin.vib root@10.10.10.10:/tmp

	2. Issue the following command (full path to the file must be specified):
              esxcli software vib install -v {VIBFILE} --no-sig-check
           or
              esxcli software vib install -d {OFFLINE_BUNDLE} --no-sig-check

           In the example above, these would be:
              esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/synonfs-vaai-plugin.vib --no-sig-check
              esxcli software vib install -d /tmp/synonfs-vaai-plugin.zip --no-sig-check

Note: Depending on the certificate used to sign the VIB, you may need to
      change the host acceptance level.  To do this, use the following command:
		esxcli software acceptance set --level=<level>
      Also, depending on the type of VIB being installed, you may have to put
      ESX into maintenance mode.  This can be done through the VI Client, or by
      adding the '--maintenance-mode' option to the above esxcli command.

Reboot the ESXi host to complete the installation.
Verify that the plug-in was successfully installed on the host by entering the following command at the VMware ESXi command line:
	esxcli software vib list | more

Upgrade Installation
--------------------

You need to uninstall the old version plug-in in order to install the latest one.

You can use this command to get the name of installed plug-in:
	esxcli software vib list | more

Issue the following command to uninstall a installed plug-in:
	esxcli software vib remove -n {PLUGIN_NAME}


VUM INSTALLATION

The VMware Update Manager (VUM) is a plugin for the Virtual Center Server
(vCenter Server).  You can use the VUM UI to install a VIB by importing
the associated offline bundle package (a ZIP file that contains the VIB and
metadata).  You can then create an add-on baseline and remediate the
host(s) with this baseline.  Please see the vCenter Server documentation for
more details on VUM.
