The following errors might be encountered during installation or upgrades of ESXi hosts to 8.0: Update Manager compliance scans indicates that a baseline (creating used an imported ISO) is Incompatible and the error details indicate an error on the following lines: The following VIB(s) on the host or in the chosen baseline(s) do not have the required checksums on their payloads: {some VIB names} This will prevent VIB security verification and secure boot from functioning properly. Please remove these VIBs and check with your vendor for a replacement of these VIBs. While using esxcli software vib, profile or apply command to install VIB or upgrade the system, you see ProfileValidationError like: In ImageProfile (Updated) {Image Profile Name}, the payload(s) in VIB {some VIB name} does not have sha-256 gunzip checksum. This will prevent VIB security verification and secure boot from functioning properly. Please remove this VIB or please check with your vendor for a replacement of this VIB. Please refer to the log file for more details. While creating a ESXi server using an ISO image or while using the scripted installation, the following error is seen: <MISSING_GUNZIP_CHECKSUM_VIB_ERRORS: Found=[{some VIB names} Expected=[] These VIB(s) do not have the required sha-256 gunzip checksum for their payloads. This will prevent VIB security verification and secure boot from functioning properly. Please remove these VIBs and check with your vendor for a replacement of these VIBs.>
If there are VIBs present on ESXi that do not have the “sha-256” checksum-type and “gunzip” verify-process pair in the VIB metadata, an upgrade to ESXi 8.0 will fail, with a message identifying the VIBs that prevented the upgrade.
While the problematic VIBs are part of the host, the upgrade/installation cannot proceed. Thus, one of the following can be done: Please check with the vendors of the problematic VIBs if there are any updates available to the same. If available, please update these VIBs (using either a VUM baseline or using the esxcli commands) and retry the upgrade operation.If the problematic VIBs are not in use or no longer needed, remove them using esxcli command: “esxcli software vib remove –vibname <vibname1> –vibname <vibname2> –vibname <vibname3> …”and reattempt the upgrade operation. If the following VIBs are installed on the host, the required customer action (for upgrading to 8.0) is listed below:Vmware-perccli Dell has released newer version of perccli utility for ESXi 7.0 with different name “vmware-perccli64”.Customer needs to remove old VIB and install newer one before upgrading. Vmware-storcli Broadcom has released newer version of storcli for ESXi 7.0 with different name “vmware-storcli64”.Customer needs to remove old VIB and install newer one before upgrading. emulex-esx-elxmgmt Broadcom has newer version of this package for ESXi 7.0 with different name “Broadcom-ELX-esxcli-elxmmt”.Customer needs to remove old VIB and install newer one before upgrading. AvayaSome Avaya VIBs are not supported anymore, hence needs to be removed for upgrade, this includes: asavp-alarmingavaya-licensingavaya-hardenavaya-watchdavp-alarming New Avaya product offering uses esxcli software profile install -p $PROFILE (profile install) instead of (profile update) to remove previous VIBs and installs the new ones.Following VIBs are being developed with HEXDK version: vmware-esx-hexdk-devtools-7.0.0-1.0.15843807.x86_64, so new 7.0 version will be available: avaya-toolsavaya-easgwatchd-filesnative-cpldcplduser Dell sas-raid_boss-cli_6.x, SuperMicro TAS: Not supported on 8.0Remove VIB in order to upgrade to 8.0 NetAppNasPlugin 6.7 patch supports NetAppNasPlugin 1.1.2-3 which isn't supported for upgrade directly to 8.0. NetApp has newer version of this package from ESXi 7.x (NetAppNasPlugin.2.0-15.vib)Either approach is possible during upgrade to 8.01. Upgrade ESXi >=7.0.1 version followed by updating NetAppNasPlugin to 2.0-15 before 8.0 upgrade.2. Remove older NetAppNasPlugin vib before upgrade to ESXi8.0. Post upgrade, NetAppNasPlugin 2.0-15 vib can be installed. Note: The error in Lifecycle Manager might not contain the offending vibs, and instead show {precheckError}. In these cases, you can determine the problematic vibs from the /var/log/vmware/vmware-updatemgr/vum-server/vmware-vum-server.log file: 2022-11-07T21:31:08.371Z info vmware-vum-server[07580] [Originator@6876 sub=HostUpgradeScanner] [scannerImpl 661] Precheck script test result: 'ERROR', test 'MISSING_GUNZIP_CHECKSUM_VIBS', expected '', found 'LSI_bootbank_vmware-perccli-007.0318.0000.0000_007.0318.0000.0000-01' and errortype is 422022-11-07T21:31:08.371Z info vmware-vum-server[07580] [Originator@6876 sub=HostUpgradeScanner] [scannerImpl 1749] (vmodl.LocalizableMessage) [--> (vmodl.LocalizableMessage) {--> key = "com.vmware.vcIntegrity.HostUpgrade.MissingGunzipChecksumVibs",--> arg = (vmodl.KeyAnyValue) [--> (vmodl.KeyAnyValue) {--> key = "found",--> value = "LSI_bootbank_vmware-perccli-007.0318.0000.0000_007.0318.0000.0000-01"--> }--> ],--> message = <unset>--> }--> ]
