ESXi Host Manually Update

These are some notes while upgrading my ESXi homelab server.

Check current version/build number

[nstah@kumala:~] vmware -v

VMware ESXi 6.7.0 build-14320388

Download ESXi update file at VMweare Customer Connect, then upload it to VM host storage I'm trying to update using October 2022 Patch, ESXi670-202210001 - Build 20497097.

"Failed to lock main memory file" errors on VM Player

I found this problem on Win XP, deleting (moving) the *.vmem.lck file is the simple solution to solved this problem.
