Upgrade vSphere 7.0.x failed because of a Missing Dependency Vibs
So, after upgrading the hardware, changing the .vmx file. The upgrade failed because a dependency of an old vib. “VMware_bootbank_esx-nsxv_6.5.0-0.0.8590012” Its time to delete this old vib, because this system has been used for testing with nsxv…
First place the host in maintenance mode
#esxcli system maintenanceMode set –enable true
Make a list of the installed vibs
#Esxcli software vib list
Remove the installed Vib “esx-nsxv”
#esxcli software vib remove –vibname=”esx-nsxv”
Reboot the system and try the upgrade again.
