VMware vSphere 6.5 – Conflict VIBs when upgrading ESXi 6.0 to 6.5
after successfully migration from VCSA 6.0 to VCSA 6.5 the second step was upgrade ESXi ( Fujitsu hosts) 6.0 to ESX 6.5. The customized image what i used is: VMware-ESXi-6.5.0-5146846-Fujitsu-v401-1
VIB Emulex_bootbank_scsi-lpfc820_8.2.4.151.65-1OEM.500.0.0.472560 requires com. VIB Emulex_bootbank_scsi-lpfc820_8.2.4.151.65-1OEM.500.0.0.472560 requires vmka
But the upgrade contains the following conflicting VIBs, all of the nodes of my customer not using the emulex on board/hba

BUT… please verify, that drivers you you are using on your network interfaces on the host dont use Emulex (scsi-lpfc820)
