To install ESXi patch on top of existing ESXi version (Eg to take it to a particular update / build number, ideally greater than current build) use:
- Download the required patch depot file from https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/patch
- Select product as ESXi embedded and installable
- Best option is to specify build number in the search fields and search
- scp the downloaded depot file to some local datastore on ESXi host (/vmfs/volumes/*)
- Update all the vibs as per patch using:
- esxcli software vib update -d <full-absolute-path-to-zip-file>
- Note that relative path will not work with above command
