QLogic_bootbank_net-qlge_3.0.0.59-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820
I am attempting up upgrade my PowerEdge R440 from ESXi 6.7.0 to 7.0 U3 with the downloaded custom iso from VMware and when I check compliance I get the following error:
The upgrade has VIBs that are missing dependencies: QLogic_bootbank_net-qlge_3.0.0.59-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello @jamiewdickson
A couple of options:
-People have been able to install the ISO that was stated to be "incompatible" using CLI
https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/how-to-upgrade-esxi-6-7-to-7-0-without-vcenter
-You can also remove the problematic vibs
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.esxi.upgrade.doc/GUID-340F35BB-E98A-4A39-AE89-667917FCE537.html
Finally you can do a fresh install if you have more than 1 node (redundancy) or if you dont care about data

Hello @jamiewdickson
I had the same error so I ran:
esxcli software vib list | grep qlge
Which resulted in:
net-qlge 3.0.0.59-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820 QLogic VMwareCertified 2017-08-29
I then went ahead and removed the vib with:
esxcli software vib remove -n net-qlge
Resulting in successfully removed VIB: QLogic_bootbank_net-qlge_3.0.0.59-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820
Then re-ran the installation pointing to the DELL profile:
esxcli software profile update -d "/vmfs/volumes/MyDirectory/VMware-VMvisor-Installer-7.0.0.update03-19482537.x86_64-DellEMC_Customized-A04.zip" -p DEL-ESXi-703_19482537-A04
--no-hardware-warning
The no hadware warning was due to an older Intel processor chip. The update then ran successfully, so I went ahead an applied the latest security patch at the time:
esxcli software vib update -d /vmfs/volumes/MyDirectory/VMware-ESXi-7.0U3e-19898904-depot.zip
The server is running well.
Hope this helps.
