Custom ESXi Catalogs

Hi @John75988816,

Yes, it's for the recommended firmware versions for Dell customized ESXi for various server models. You mentioned you have errors, what does it say? Is the update for the discovered servers by OME, which are installed with ESXi also or the current OME server that you're updating with?

The catalog version 21.06.30 should be for VMware ESXi 6.7U3 A11, let me know if not the correct one. 

I added the catalog like this:

This is the error that I get applying it to an ESXi server:

Where do I download VMware ESXi 6.7U3 A11? VMware's site only has A14.

Hello John75988816,

Check out this link: DellEMC Customized Image of VMware ESXi 6.7 U3 Dell Version: A11, Build#17700523

That worked, thanks. Where do I get logs for the download issues (see OpenManage Enterprise screenshots)?

Hello John75988816,

I'm sorry I don't understand. What 'logs for the download issue' are you looking for?

I'll let Joey know you followed up and he may be able to assist when he is back on shift.

I'm having an issue updating my PowerEdge R640 using the custom catalog from here: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000126599/firmware-catalog-for-dell-customized-vmware-esxi-images

(screenshots in one of my posts above)

Not sure if I'm missing something obvious or not.

Hello John75988816,

I have engaged one of our Systems Management engineers and they will need to test it out in the lab.

I can update you  when I have more information.
