I have a power Edge R520 server installed with Dell-ESXi-5.5U2-2068190-A00
I have uploaded the ESX 6.5U1 ISO image (not the custom Dell one)
Update manager returns:
The upgrade contains the following set of conflicting VIBs:
LSI_bootbank_scsi-mpt3sas_04.00.00.00.1vmw-1OEM.500.0.0.472560
LSI_bootbank_scsi-mpt3sas_04.00.00.00.1vmw-1OEM.500.0.0.472560
Remove the conflicting VIBs or use Image Builder to create a custom upgrade ISO image that contains the newer versions of the conflicting VIBs, and try to upgrade again.
After checking VMWare documentation I found the following article:
Scsi-mpt3sas This is a driver VIB provides ‘mpt3sas’ driver which enables support for AVAGO MPT Fusion based SAS3 (SAS 12.0 Gb/s) Controller(s). Dell don’t support this device and hence this driver can be safely removed.
I try to remove it but cannot find the correct VIB name
