Trying to Upgrade from ESXI 6.7 to 7.0.3

[ch3ss]

I am at 6.7 build 19997733 on a Proliant DL360 Gen 10

I am trying to upgrade to HPE Custom 7..0.3

I have imported the .iso and created a baseline.

The error that I get is the following:

The upgrade has VIBs that are missing dependencies: HPE_bootbank_ssacli_4.17.6.0-6.7.0.7535516.hpe Remove the VIBs or use Image Builder to create a custom upgrade ISO image that contains the missing dependencies, and try to upgrade again

I have reached out to VMWare support, and they had me try and upgrade via the profile. That didnt work because the same issue came up.

I have found while search to remove the .vib and reboot the host, and then it will work. I am not sure if thats the case.

Any help is apprecaited. 
Thanks

I have attempted this, VMWare suggested this and i still get the vib error.

Everywhere I have been reading says to remove it.

Vmware support said for me to reach out to HP for hardware support on it....

Hi,

Did you manage to resolve this issue?  We have the same issue when trying to upgrade from v7 to v8.
