Updating

To update a ESXi install from 5.5 to 6.0, download the ESXi 6.0 offline bundle and upload it to a datastore on the server.

Log in via SSH and execute 

esxcli software vib update -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ESXi600-201504001.zip

Then reboot to apply the changes.


Troubleshooting

IOMMU Hangs

If your ESXi server hangs while "Initializing IOV", disable IOMMU by appending 'noiommu' to the kernel immediately after the new kernel boots by hitting Shift-O (letter O, not zero)

To make the changes persistent, add it to the boot arguments in /bootbank/boot.cfg
