I manage ESXi 6.5.0 Update 1 (Build 7967591) under free license.
I would like to upgrade it to 6.7 (because better macOS client support). There is no .zip file patch yet.
Hypervisor is in restricted network where all HTTP comunication must go through proxy 10.1.2.3:3128.
First I disable firewall to be able to connect to port 3128. I verify this by running nc -vz 10.1.2.3 3128.
When I run either of these commands:
esxcli software sources profile list --depot https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-d epot-index.xml --proxy=http://10.1.2.3:3128
esxcli software sources profile list --depot https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-d epot-index.xml --proxy=https://10.1.2.3:3128
esxcli software sources profile list --depot https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-d epot-index.xml --proxy=10.1.2.3:3128
I get:
[MetadataDownloadError]
Could not download from depot at https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml, skipping (('https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml', '', 'file not found')) url = https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml
Please refer to the log file for more details.I am able to use http_proxy enviroment varible to use `wget` to download files from the internet.
Is there something wrong with my command or is --proxy switch broken in 6.5.0?
