I'm attempting to update a fresh install of ESXI using the VMware-ESXi-6.7.0-Update2-13006603-HPE-Gen9plus-670.U2.10.4.1.8-Apr2019.iso
The install goes fine and the machine boots happily. I get a CVE warning upon login so i thought best to update the the latest version.
I went to https://esxi-patches.v-front.de/ESXi-6.7.0.html and tried the instructions to update to ESXi-6.7.0-20190604001-standard
The commands I used were and the error I got are:
esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e true -r httpClient
esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.7.0-20190604001-standard \
> -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml

First thing i did was enable swap on my system as per the many threads I have read regarding the issue. Unfortunately the issues still persists. I also tried installing just the tools update, but that ISO comes with the latest version.
Any ideas or suggestions?
