Issue on upgrading ESXi 8.0 U2b

[KevinChoi]

I have a 3 node HP ProLiant DX380 Gen 10 Plus running Nuatnix with ESXi 7.0 U2n and trying to upgrade to ESXi 8.0 U2b with the HPE custom image "VMware-ESXi-8.0.2-23825572-HPE-802.0.0.11.6.0.5-Aug2024-depot.zip" but it failed, the error shown as below:

"VIB MIS_bootbank_ssacli2_6.40.6.0-7.0.0.15525992.oem requires esx-version << 8.0.0"

It seems some component is missing. So may I know is there any ESXi upgrade path for me to upgrade?

Hi @Greeshma21 ,

I am using the image from Broadcom which is the same source you provided.

Actually I just want to see if any upgrade path need to follow since I can upgrade directly from 7.0 u2n to 8.0 u2b
