Thank you for the warm welcome!
I entered the command exactly as you suggested, and i got "Must specify a server name"
so I then entered:
esxcli --server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -h yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy software vib install --depot=/vmfs/volumes/DATASTORE/VIBS/OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-6.5.0-542907.VIB-ESX50i_A02.zip
And I received the same error as before.
Is there a next step I can try?
Thanks!
