Re: Using Update Manager to upgrade ESX 5.1 to 5.5 - ERROR Conflicting VIBS

Hi Guys,

I'm having the exact same issues here.  I don't actually have update manager - had never heard of it before this post - is it included with enterprise and where would I get it from?

As I don't have update manager, I need to update to 5.5.0 U1 manually(from 5.5.0) but booting the host from the ISO, then selecting to update.  I use the HP custom image to do this on our GEN8 server and I get the error as above(or very similar)

Has anyone managed to find a workaround for this?  When I list the VIBs on the host, there isn't one that matches the error so I cannot manually uninstall it.

Thanks
