Hello all,We are encountering an issue with a user who updated ESXi to version 8.0u3e onto nutanix Supermicro 8155 G8. The problem has arisen while attempting to update hardware components; the LCM update fails because `ipmitool` is missing from the hosts.The cluster is located in a "dark site," so updates are loaded via direct upload and AOS is at 7.5.1.10 version.Do you know of any workarounds?Thanks in advice,Alex
Question
/ipmitool not present in ESXI host (Supermicro 8155-g8 Model)
Hi
follow below steps:(keep the CVM and host in maintenance mode)
copy below script to a file and copy it to one of CVM:
https://download.nutanix.com/kbattachments/17266/esxi_vibs_install
copy script to cvm
cd ~/cluster/bin/
chmod +x esxi_vibs_install
replace the X.X.X.X with IP address of your host
./esxi_vibs_install --host_ip=X.X.X.X
this will install all required VIBs for you
+2Hi
I'm not sure which stage of the process you are currently at
or if you followed Nutanix's dark site upgrade method.

Hi Jamali, thanks for the answer. So it uses the cvm to install into the host the vibs specified by the script like ipmitool right?
