Intel NUC の ESXi 6.7u1 を 7.0u2a へアップグレード #upgrade

はじめに

自宅サーバの Intel NUC 8 で ESXi を動かしており、ESXi のアップグレードを実施したのでその内容を記載する
Intel NUC の 8th Gen Bean Canyon / 11th Gen は NIC で Intel I219-V を使用していて、ESXi はデフォルト対応していないのがほとんど(バージョンによる)
NIC のドライバ対応は PowerCLIのImageBuilderで net-community のドライバを入れる方法や、
ESXi-Customizerを使う方法などがあるが、どうも本環境でうまくいかなかったので、別の方法で対処した
※ USB メモリを使う方法ではアップグレード成功したのでその方法も記載する (要 Windows/PowerCLI)

実施環境

ESXi 対象サーバ
- Intel NUC 8世代
- インテル® NUC キット NUC8i5BEH, NUC8i5BEK
- CPU: Intel Core i5-8259U (4 Core, 8 Thread)
- Mem: 32 GB
ESXi
- バージョン: 6.7.0 Update 1 (6.7u1)
- ライセンス：無償

上記を、無償版で現時点(2021.11.23時点)で落とせる 7.0 Update 2a までアップグレードする

6.7.0u2 パッチ (ESXi670-201904001) 適用理由

6.7.0u1 は 6.7.0u2 で修正されたパッチを適用しないとアップグレードをうまくできなかった
( 該当バグ： PR 2242656：セキュアブートが有効な場合、ESXCLI コマンドを使用したアップデートが失敗することがある記載元)

下記、6.7.0u1 状態で 7.0u2a へ直接アップグレードを失敗した出力例

Upgrade

6.7.0u1 は 6.7.0u2 で修正されたパッチを適用しないとアップグレードをうまくできなかったので(※)、
6.7u1 -> 6.7u2 -> 7.0u2a の順番で上げていく

ESXi Shell, SSH 有効化

デフォルトだと無効化されているので有効化する
Manage -> Services を選択

対象の TSM, TSM-SSH をクリックして ▶️Start をクリックして Status を Running にする

SSH できるようになったことを確認 (下記実施例。ユーザ・パスワードはブラウザで ESXi へログイン時と同じ)

% ssh root@192.168.129.3
Password: 
The time and date of this login have been sent to the system logs.

WARNING:
   All commands run on the ESXi shell are logged and may be included in
   support bundles. Do not provide passwords directly on the command line.
   Most tools can prompt for secrets or accept them from standard input.

VMware offers supported, powerful system administration tools.  Please
see www.vmware.com/go/sysadmintools for details.

The ESXi Shell can be disabled by an administrative user. See the
vSphere Security documentation for more information.

ファイルアップロード

ダウンロードしたファイルをデータストアへアップロードする
datastore1というデータストアに、upgradeというフォルダを作ってアップロードした場合は、下記がパスになる
/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/upgrade/[アップロードファイル名]

下記が実施環境での例

メンテナンスモードへ移行

ホスト上で稼働する仮想マシンをパワーオフをしてから、下記を実施する

vim-cmd /hostsvc/hostsummary | grep inMaintenanceMode 
vim-cmd hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter
vim-cmd /hostsvc/hostsummary | grep inMaintenanceMode

下記本環境での実施例

[root@localhost:~] vim-cmd /hostsvc/hostsummary | grep inMaintenanceMode 
      inMaintenanceMode = false, 
[root@localhost:~] vim-cmd hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter
[root@localhost:~] vim-cmd /hostsvc/hostsummary | grep inMaintenanceMode 
      inMaintenanceMode = true,

再起動を実施する

reboot

再起動後、6.7.0 Update 2となっていることを確認する

7.0u2 Upgrade

再度、ESXi Shell, SSH 有効化を実施してから、SSH で再ログインして下記を実施する

esxcli software profile update -d "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/upgrade/VMware-ESXi-7.0U2a-17867351-depot.zip" -p "ESXi-7.0U2a-17867351-standard"
esxcli software vib install -n ne1000:0.8.4-10vmw.700.1.0.15843807 -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml

Intel NUC 8 の NIC については一つ前のバージョンのドライバは対応していたので、ne1000:0.8.4-10vmw.700.1.0.15843807を指定して入れることで対応する

[root@localhost:~] esxcli software profile update -d "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/upgrade/VMware-ESXi-7.0U2a-17867351-depot.zip" -p "ESXi-7.0U2a-17867351-standard"

再起動を実施する

reboot

再起動後、7.0 Update 2となっていることを確認する

ライセンスを適用する
管理 → ライセンス → ライセンスの割り当て をクリックして、ライセンスを入力して割り当てる

完了したら、メンテナンスモードを終了して作業完了

以上で、7.0u2a までのアップグレード完了

まとめ

Intel NUC 8 上の ESXi アップグレードを実施した
Intel NUC での運用は、NIC 対応状況などを確認しながらアップグレードしないといけないので気をつけて運用していきたい

その他. エラー対応

USB NIC Driver DependencyError

USB NIC のドライバも入れていると7.0へアップグレードする場合にエラー出るので一旦消した

エラー例

[root@localhost:~] esxcli software profile update -d "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/upgrade/VMware-ESXi-7.0U2a-17867351-depot.zip" -p "ESXi-7.0U2a-17867351-standard"

必要な場合は、7.0のを組み込むか、アップグレード後に7.0のを入れる。(今回は不要になったので消した)

ne1000 入れ忘れてアップグレードしてしまった際の対処 (USB Boot Upgrade)

下記コマンドを入れ忘れて、7.0にアップグレードしてしまった場合、ログインできなくなるので、esxcli1でのアップグレードは不可

esxcli software vib install -n ne1000:0.8.4-10vmw.700.1.0.15843807 -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml

Windows PowerShell での PowerCLI を使って Net-Community-Driver を含んだ ISO イメージを作成して USB メモリでブートさせてアップグレード(7.0u2->7.0u2)を実施する
※Core 版の PowerShell は PowerCLI の ImageBuilder が対応してないので Windows が必要

必要なファイル (ESXi は同じ)

ESXi (実施時ダウンロード可能版の VMware ESXi 7.0 Update 2a)
- https://customerconnect.vmware.com/jp/group/vmware/evalcenter?p=free-esxi7
- 本環境でダウンロードしたファイル名： VMware-ESXi-7.0U2a-17867351-depot.zip
NUC の NIC 対応ドライバ
- Community Networking Driver for ESXi
- 本環境でダウンロードしたファイル名： Net-Community-Driver_1.2.2.0-1vmw.700.1.0.15843807_18835109.zip

Windows Powershell での実施コマンドは下記の通り。(PowerCLI があれば3番目までは不要. PowerCLI がうまく入らない場合は最新版まで Windows をアップグレードする)

Install-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI [-Scope CurrentUser]
Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -Scope User -ParticipateInCEIP  $false

rufusなど起動可能な USB メモリにできるようなソフトで、作成した ISO ファイルを書き込む

Intel NUC に、書き込んだ USB メモリを差し込んで、再起動。起動中に F2 を押して BIOS 画面を開いて対象 USB を起動優先度上げ指定する

Installer 画面になるので、Upgrade を選択して進めれば対処完了 (面倒でなければこの方法でアップグレードしても特に問題はない)
