Problem
When upgrading VMware vSphere and your ESXi hosts to version 6.7u3 you may experience an error similar to:
The upgrade contains the following set of conflicting:
LSI_bootbank_scsi-mpt3sas_04.00.00.00.00.lvmw-10EM.500.0.0.472560
Remove the conflicting VIBs or use Image Builder to create a custom ISO.”

Resolution
Always have a backup of your configuration just in case!
This is due to conflicting VIBs on your ESXi host.
