VMware ESXi sunucularının güncel tutulması hem güvenlik hem de kararlılık açısından kritik öneme sahiptir. Özellikle donanım üreticisine özel (vendor custom) sürümlerde örneğin HPE, Dell, Lenovo, Cisco gibi ilgili sürücüler ve yönetim bileşenleriyle optimize edildiği için bu paketlerin zamanında yüklenmesi donanım uyumluluğu açısından da hayati bir rol oynar.
Bu makalemde HPE Custom ESXi 8.0.3 sürümüne ait aşağıdaki paketi kullanarak update işleminin detaylarını açıklayacağım.
VMware-ESXi-8.0.3-24859861-HPE-803.0.0.12.2.0.9-oct2025-depot.zipGüncellemeye Hazırlık
SSH Erişimini Etkinleştirme
VMware ESXi host’a doğrudan komut satırıyla erişim sağlamak için öncelikle SSH servisini açmamız gerekir.
Bunu iki farklı şekilde yapabilirsin.
a) VMware vCenter Server üzerinden;
- Hosts and Clusters → Cluster veya Datacenter altında güncelleme yapmak istediğin ESXi host’u tıklayınız.
- Host’un “Services” bölümüne giriniz. Configure → System → Services yolunu takip ediniz.
- Listede TSM-SSH isimli servisi bulunuz (bazı sürümlerde yalnızca “SSH” olarak görünür).
- vSphere Client üzerinden:
Host> Actions > Services > Enable Secure Shell (SSH)
Host’u Bakım Moduna (Maintanence Mode) Almak
Host üzerinde çalışan sanal makineleri uygun şekilde taşıdıktan sonra bakım moduna geçilmesi için komut satırından aşağıdaki komutu çalıştırabilirsiniz.
vim-cmd hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enterBu sayede güncelleme süresince sanal makinelerin etkilenmesi engellenmiş olur.
VMware ESXi Host Yapılandırmalarını Yedekleme Almak
Her zamanki gibi sistemsel işlemlerden önce yapılandırma yedeği almak en doğru adımdır.
vim-cmd hostsvc/firmware/backup_config
Bu komutun çıktısı genellikle /scratch/downloads/ dizinine configBundle.tgz olarak kaydedilir. Ayrıca istersen vCenter üzerinden Host Profile export işlemiyle konfigürasyonları merkezi olarak da yedekleyebilirsiniz.
Bundle Paketinin Sunucuya Aktarılması
Paket Dosyası:
VMware-ESXi-8.0.3-24859861-HPE-803.0.0.12.2.0.9-oct2025-depot.zip
Bu dosya bir Offline Depot paketidir ve doğrudan ESXi üzerinde kullanılabilir. Paketin hedef sunucuya aktarılması için iki yöntem vardır.
- Datastore Browser (GUI) ile yükleme:
vSphere Client > Datastore > Upload Files
Dosyayı örneğin şu dizine at:/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/patches/ - SCP (komut satırı) yöntemiyle yükleme
k.
scp VMware-ESXi-8.0.3-24859861-HPE-803.0.0.12.2.0.9-oct2025-depot.zip root@<ESXi-IP>:/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/patches/SSH Üzerinden Güncelleme İşlemi
Paket İçeriğinin Görüntülenmesi
Önce bundle içerisindeki profilleri listeleyelim. Bunun için aşağıdaki komutu kullanabilirsiniz.
esxcli software sources profile list -d VMware-ESXi-8.0.3-24859861-HPE-803.0.0.12.2.0.9-oct2025-depot.zip
Update Komutu
Bu yöntem mevcut sürümdeki VIB paketlerini koruyarak yalnızca yeni bileşenleri günceller.
esxcli software profile update -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/patches/VMware-ESXi-8.0.3-24859861-HPE-803.0.0.12.2.0.9-oct2025-depot.zip -p HPE-Custom-AddOn_803.0.0.12.2.0.9-24859861
Install Komutu (Temiz Güncelleme)
Bu yöntem eski VIB’leri kaldırarak profili sıfırdan uygular.
esxcli software profile install -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/patches/VMware-ESXi-8.0.3-24859861-HPE-803.0.0.12.2.0.9-oct2025-depot.zip -p HPE-Custom-AddOn_803.0.0.12.2.0.9-24859861
Tavsiye: Eğer aynı büyük sürüm içinde kalıyorsan (8.0.x → 8.0.3 gibi) update komutunu kullanman daha güvenlidir.
Bu komut ile (update) sistemin mevcut profilini koruyarak sadece gerekli bileşenleri günceller. vCenter, VMXNET, HPE SPP sürücüleri, SmartArray, iLO VIB gibi vendor bileşenleri uyumluysa otomatik olarak upgrade edilir. Komut tamamlandığında “The update completed successfully” mesajı görmelisin.
