Ah. &nbsp;Thank you, Andrew! &nbsp;Knew I'd tanked something.<br />
Just tried it though, and got the following error after it tried the upload:<br />
Failed to import data.The uploaded upgrade package cannot be used with VMware vSphere Update Manager.<br />
Also got a CIP error popup as well:<br />
<br />
Please start the VMware Cip Message Proxy Service. &nbsp;Earlier today I installed VMWare Workstation on my computer. &nbsp;Could that be interfering with this?<br />

I copied/pasted the ISO filename from your response; I have that on my workstation as well. &nbsp;That was the message I got back.<a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2019/12_w50/1439015/import.JPG" target="_blank" title="image import error screen (35 KB)"><img alt="image import error screen" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 683px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2019/12_w50/1439015/import.JPG" /></a>

It does the full import, thinks about it for a few minutes, then spits it out. &nbsp;Will re-download it.

Version of VCSA ?<br />
<br />

Version of VCSA ?

check the MD5 published hash is correct ?

<div>
VCSA is 6.7.0; checksums matched (MD5)
</div>


<div>
If you are on an early version of 6.7, I would upgrade to the latest.<br />
<br />
There is no reason it should fail.

I haven't applied updates to the VCSA in a while. &nbsp;Will do that. &nbsp;Speaking of updates, any negatives to the vSphere ones that came out within the last few weeks or so?

Hi,<br />
<br />
What type of ISO images can be imported into the Update Manager? &nbsp;I'm trying to import a 6.5 ESXi iso image (VMware-VIM-all-6.5.0-5973<wbr />321.iso and VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6<wbr />.5.0.updat<wbr />e01-596930<wbr />3.x86_64.i<wbr />so) and both were rejected as incompatible.<br />

Hi,

What type of ISO images can be imported into the Update Manager?  I'm trying to import a 6.5 ESXi iso image (VMware-VIM-all-6.5.0-5973321.iso and VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.5.0.update01-5969303.x86_64.iso) and both were rejected as incompatible.

ESXi upgrade image types

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
