On an HPE ProLiant server running HPE Custom Image for ESXi 7.x with the hpessacli-component, the installation of the new ssacli2-component for ESXi 7.0 via esxcli command or VMware Update Manager (VUM) will fail and/or will not replace the previous hpessacli-component. If the hpessacli-component version 4.18.1.0-7.0.0 or 4.21.1.0-7.0.0 is installed, the esxcli command to install ssacli2-component will result in the following error: [root@localhost:~] esxcli software component apply -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ssacli2-component_6.10.21.0-7.0.0.zip --no-sig-check [ProfileValidationError] File path of '/usr/lib/vmware/esxcli/ext/esxcli-ssacli.xml' is claimed by multiple non-overlay VIBs: {'MIS_bootbank_ssacli2_6.10.21.0-7.0.0.15525992.oem', 'HPE_bootbank_hpes sacli_4.18.1.0-7.0.0.15525992.hpe'} File path of '/opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/ssacli_ret' is claimed by multiple non-overlay VIBs: {'MIS_bootbank_ssacli2_6.10.21.0-7.0.0.15525992.oem', 'HPE_bootbank_hpes sacli_4.18.1.0-7.0.0.15525992.hpe'} File path of '/opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/ssacli' is claimed by multiple non-overlay VIBs: {'MIS_bootbank_ssacli2_6.10.21.0-7.0.0.15525992.oem', 'HPE_bootbank_hpessacl i_4.18.1.0-7.0.0.15525992.hpe'} File path of '/opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/ssacli_esx' is claimed by multiple non-overlay VIBs: {'MIS_bootbank_ssacli2_6.10.21.0-7.0.0.15525992.oem', 'HPE_bootbank_hpes sacli_4.18.1.0-7.0.0.15525992.hpe'} Please refer to the log file for more details. OR VUM install will result in the following errors: If the system is running the hpessacli-component version 5.10.45.1-7.0.0 or newer, installing the new ssacli2-component for ESXi 7.0 via esxcli or VUM will complete without errors, but it will not successfully get installed and will not replace the existent hpessacli-component. On the reboot after the installation, both components will show as installed but the older version of the ssacli tool remains unchanged: [root@localhost:~] esxcli software component list | grep ssacli hpessacli-component Smart Storage Administrator CLI for ESXi 5.10.45.1-7.0.0 5.10.45.1 Microchip Technology Inc. 04-01-2021 PartnerSupported ssacli2-component Smart Storage Administrator CLI for ESXi 6.10.21.0-7.0.0 6.10.21.0 Microchip 09-22-2022 PartnerSupported [root@localhost:~] /opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/ssacli version SSACLI Version: 5.10.45.0 2021-02-09 SOULAPI Version: 5.10.45.0 2021-02-09
Any HPE ProLiant server running HPE Custom Image for ESXi 7.x with the hpessacli-component.
To resolve this issue, perform any of the following work-arounds depending on the server generation: For Gen9 servers, manually uninstall hpessacli-component first before installing the new ssacli2-component via esxcli command: [root@localhost:~] esxcli software component remove -n hpessacli-component [root@localhost:~] esxcli software component apply -d /tmp/ssacli2-component_6.10.21.0-7.0.0.zip 2. For Gen10 and newer servers, update the system via vLCM with the HPE ESXi 7.0U3 AddOn that includes the new ssacli2-component - HPE-703.0.0.10.10.0.12-Oct2022-Addon-depot.zip RECEIVE PROACTIVE UPDATES : Receive support alerts (such as Customer Advisories), as well as updates on drivers, software, firmware, and customer replaceable components, proactively in your e-mail through HPE Support Alerts.
