You can add net-tulip to the image using PowerShell cmdlets from VMware.ImageBuilder module (Add-EsxSoftwareDepot, Add-EsxSoftwarePackage, Export-EsxImageProfile). In this case, you will have to download the ESXi image and the net-tulip driver manually ( -front.de/depot/bundles/net-tulip-1.1.15-1-offline_bundle.zip). var quads_screen_width = document.body.clientWidth;if ( quads_screen_width >= 1140 ) []).push();if ( quads_screen_width >= 1024 && quads_screen_width = 768 && quads_screen_width
You can download the latest version of the ESXi-Customizer-PS 2.8.1 module from GitHub ( -Customizer-PS/blob/master/ESXi-Customizer-PS.ps1). This script version supports current VMWare ESXi 7.0 and 6.7 versions.

Every time we restart the nested ESXi 6.0 VM the root password is again blank and the ignoreheadless config is gone. We have built several custom images ESXi-6.0.0-20170604001-standard-customized.iso thinking something was wrong with the images created previously but the same symptoms. We can ping the gateway from the ESXi 6.0 VM but we cannot ping the ESXi 6.0 VM, nor can we SSH to it or use the vsphere client to connect to it. If we set a static IP for this nested ESXi 6.0 guest VM, after a reboot it goes back to DHCP. Maybe VMWARE blacklisted the net tulip drivers on this 20170504001 build too. So maybe we will have to use an older .ISO verson and customize it. Not sure how to proceed now.
The web client plugin registers the plugin url. The actual files gets downloaded only when the web client gets launched. The server checks the files on the server if files does not exist, then it downloads the files from http(s) server.
Hi Team, I keep getting caught a system exception. I have tried all versions of the script, and running in powercli and powershell ise. Host versions are 5.0.0 and have tried running from varrios machines. Any hekp would be greatly appreciated.
2. Launch PowerCLI from your start menu, and use CD to change directory to where the script is saved, then run it by typing in ./scriptname.ps1 (where scriptname is the name of my script you downloaded, and where you are in the same directory as it is saved!)
1. Make sure you have write access to folder you are targeting for the backup file.2. Make sure you have Admin role for vCenter or a role that allows you to backup host configuration (admin of course means you can do anything)3. Make sure you have right-clicked the downloaded file and selected properties, then Unblocked it (if the unblock button appears on the properties window).
Great script to use worked a treat if any one has issues with the firmware error this is most likely due to dns, create the record and ensure it propergates round all your dns servers, once it has close and reopen the powercli and try again worked straight away after that.
The old PowerCli was a PowerShell snap in and required downloading an exe to install, the new version is module based and can be installed directly from the PowerShell console. To install run the below command.
Using some PowerCLI magic, I want to try to set the ctkEnabled property as TRUE for my virtual machine. There is a great little function script posted by Arne Fokkema over at ict-freak.nl which you can find here: -freak.nl/2009/12/14/powercli-enable-changed-block-tracking/
Just for the record, the Veeam 6.1 will work with the 4.1 free hypervisor. Although you cannot find 5.0 on the site, 4.1 is still available for download and the 6.1 release of Veeam does do live backup with this version of the free hypervisor.

Let that sink in for a moment. It doesn't really matter that the Free Hypervisor and EVALExperience download sites aren't updated very often, you don't have to wait to get the latest version of the ESXi Hypervisor! For example, you can easily test the very latest Hypervisor-Specific Mitigations.
For Xeon D-1500 series system like mine, I had to add the --no-hardware-warning flag to be able to execute this ESXCLI command successfully, you might not need to use that flag. Also, I was getting the "Unable to download from any URLs" error if I didn't bother with the firewall commands that didn't seem necessary on 7.0.x, so I've added them back in. These 3 lines worked great, so now both my VCSA 7.0 to 8.0 upgrade (seen on video here) and my ESXi 7 to 8 upgrades are both now complete!
This Build 9484548 is so new it hasn't shown up on the handy VMware KB article Build numbers and versions of VMware ESXi/ESX (2143832) quite yet. But there is a rather universal way to download and install it, in one command. Works great if your ESXi host has internet access. William Lam and Andreas Peetz have actually blogged about using esxcli for ESXi updates back in 2012 here and here. This article revisits that particular technique. Why, even in this day and age when VCSA has VUM baked in? Because of its universality, and because it removes the need for folks to do crazy stuff to workaround My VMware login issues or entitlement/permissions issues.
The ESXCLI method of updating is a more universal way to upgrade ESXi that works even for the free hypervisor. It's actually a one-liner that side-steps the preferred VUM method for those without VCSA, and/or those without a My VMware account or and expired trial, instead downloading the patch directly. This ESXCLI method doesn't have quite as easy a way to revert (aka roll-back) if things go wrong. If you have access to the latest ESXi ISO, downloading and booting from that and choosing Upgrade is safer. If you have VCSA 6.7, using vSphere Update Manager VUM is safer too. It's a lot more fun to have VCSA in your home lab, and doing so beyond the 60 day trial has gotten a whole lot more affordable too, with the 365 day renewable VMUG Advantage EVALExperience. See also VMware ESXi Upgrade.
ACTUAL RUN - This is it, the all-in-one download and patch command, assuming your ESXi host has internet access. This will pull down the ESXi Image Profile using https, then it will run the patch script.When you paste this line into your SSH session and hit enter, you'll need to be patient, as nothing seems to happen at first. It will take somewhere between roughly 3 to 10 minutes before the completion screen (sample below) appears: 2ff7e9595c
