Install ESXi using Composite file

Hi All,

So I have a discussion re: Scratch location issue that I am unable to resolve.

This drives me to my next question:

I want to re-install the single node in the vSAN cluster (13 nodes) using the current installed package i.e. VXRAIL_COMPOSITE-4.7.535-27177583_for_4.7.x.zip

Can I do this using esxcli softaware vib install cmd on the SINGLE host to re-install ESXi and required as per package file in hope this will fix my "scratch symlink" issue ?

or maybe another suggestion...

My RP4VM splitters unable to function due to this (var/run/log) not available.

Thank you

    I Managed to create a persistent scratch location in esxi cli:

    changed /etc/vmware/locker.conf to reflect new /my/new/scratch

    Reboot

    check: /var/run/log --> accessible now!

    BOOM everything started working
