A custom bug ID has been generated as the vendor did not provide one: 71a3cbef98ce
vSphere UI host advanced settings shows the current product locker location as empty with an empty default. This is inconsistent as the actual product location symlink is created and valid. This causes confusion to the user. The default cannot be corrected from UI. 1. Remove the existing Product Locker Location setting with: "esxcli system settings advanced remove -o ProductLockerLocation" 2. Re-add the Product Locker Location setting with the appropriate default: 2.a. If the ESXi is a full installation, the default value is "/locker/packages/vmtoolsRepo" export PRODUCT_LOCKER_DEFAULT="/locker/packages/vmtoolsRepo" 2.b. If the ESXi is a PXEboot configuration such as autodeploy, the default value is: " /vmtoolsRepo" export PRODUCT_LOCKER_DEFAULT="/vmtoolsRepo" Run the following command to automatically figure out the location: export PRODUCT_LOCKER_DEFAULT=`readlink /productLocker` Add the setting: esxcli system settings advanced add -d "Path to VMware Tools repository" -o ProductLockerLocation -t string -s $PRODUCT_LOCKER_DEFAULT You can combine all the above steps in step 2 by issuing the single command: esxcli system settings advanced add -d "Path to VMware Tools repository" -o ProductLockerLocation -t string -s `readlink /productLocker`
User can use the esxcli command on the host to correct the current product locker location default as below
