 +==== Upgrade HP software and drivers ==== 
 + 
 +If you are using an HPE Server, you may want to upgrade all HP VIB's too. 
 + 
 +The simplest way to do this, is to directly fetch the HP VIB repo data. 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +~ # esxcli software vib update -d https://vibsdepot.hpe.com/hpe/hpe-index.xml 
 + [MetadataDownloadError] 
 + Could not download from depot at https://vibsdepot.hpe.com/hpe/hpe-index.xml, skipping (('https://vibsdepot.hpe.com/hpe/hpe-index.xml', '', '[Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found')) 
 +        url = https://vibsdepot.hpe.com/hpe/hpe-index.xml 
 + Please refer to the log file for more details. 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +But I bet it won't work for you, too. HP and VMware seemes to share their website developers and hosters, because the availability and performance of both sites is really bad. 
 + 
 +Another way to upgrade is to download the depot and do an offline installation. 
 + 
 +Download the depot ZIP file on [[https://my.VMware.com/]]. You will find it in the section "Custom ISOs". It's name will be similar to "VMware-ESXi-6.0.0-Update2-3620759-HPE-600.U2.9.4.7.13-Mar2016-depot.zip". Now you have to extract the ZIP file on a datastore which is accessible by your ESX (myDataStore). 
 + 
 +Update the HP VIB's with the local depot. 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +~ # esxcli software vib update --depot=file:///vmfs/volumes/myDataStore/VMware-ESXi-6.0.0-Update2-3620759-HPE-600.U2.9.4.7.13-Mar2016-depot/index.xml
